Excerpt from When the Somme Ran Red
This line was chosen with the greatest possible Skill. It followed the series of ridges and hills and thus gave command of the country to the west; in other words, any attack against the Ger mans would have to be made uphill, always at difficult undertaking. Besides the natural strength of the position the line was made still more secure by the employment of every device known to military science, SO that it was re garded as an almost impregnable system of trenches. This then was the line we were to at tack in July, 1916, largely with the idea of relieving the pressure that was being exerted against Verdun.
