Default Thiepval memorial, France

Tommorow marks the 60th anniversary of the start of the battle of the Somme. By the time it ended in November there were over 400,000 British casualties, almost 200,000 French ones and over 600,000 German ones.

This memorial to those whose bodies were never found is at Thiepval.
