EDITORS COMMENTS
Title Page: The Somme, Volume I - A poignant tribute to the fallen during the First Battle of the Somme (1916-1917), published by Michelin in 1919. This historic volume, dedicated to the memory of Michelin workmen and employees who lost their lives during the war, is part of a series of illustrated guides to the battlefields of the First World War. The First Battle of the Somme, fought between July 1 and November 18, 1916, was one of the largest battles of the war, with over one million casualties. The battle took place in the northern region of the Somme River in France, between the towns of Albert, Bapaume, and Peronne. This title page, with its solemn inscription, serves as a reminder of the human cost of the conflict. The Michelin company, known for its tire manufacturing, produced this publication post-war as a means to document and preserve the history of the battlefields. The volume covers the events of the battle in detail, with maps, illustrations, and eyewitness accounts. The publication of this guide was a significant contribution to the historical record of the First World War and serves as a testament to the enduring impact of the conflict on the people of France and beyond. The title page, with its simple yet powerful message, stands as a symbol of remembrance and respect for those who made the ultimate sacrifice during the First Battle of the Somme.
