  	The Battle of the Somme (French: Bataille de la Somme), also known as the Somme Offensive, took place during the First World War between 1 July and 18 November 1916 in the Somme department of France, on both banks of the river of the same name . The battle consisted of an offensive by the British and French armies against the German Army, which since invading France in August 1914 had occupied large areas of that country. One of the largest battles of the First World War, by the time fighting had petered out in late autumn 1916 more than 1.5 million casualties had been suffered by the forces involved. It is understood to have been one of the bloodiest military operations ever recorded.

  	Alfred Claude Crompton at age 16 Picture from Judith Charlton by e-mail April 12, 2010 On the back of the photograph I sent is written 'Alfie aged 16' - I don't know who wrote this but it is undoubtedly his picture. It was given by his mother to Jack (John Y Crompton) and then to Pat. He was a very good looking boy and stands out even in his school photograph of 1910 which I will send to you when I go home ( We are currently staying at our cottage and not at our main house).
