Abstract
THE ground over which the Battle of the Somme was fought in the late summer and autumn of 1916 rises gradually towards Bapaume, and at the same time is gently undulating, with some well-marked branching valleys initiating the drainage system of the area. Before the war the land was for the mosM: part under cultivation, but on the highest levels there were large areas of woodland, such as High Wood and Del-ville Wood, now shattered and destroyed.
