The Gloom and Terror of War - at Montauban, by Sir Philip Gibbs | 4 July 1916 | Episode 128
Published on 4 July 1916
The famous author and war correspondent Sir Philip Gibbs followed closely the first advances in the battle of the Somme. His journeys led him, as one of the earliest visitors, to ground only recently captured from the Germans. His account of the grim horrors to be seen in recently evacuated dug-outs will find an echo in the memories of all ex-service men.
