520    The 1st July 1916 was the blackest day in the history of 
       the British Army when 60,000 unsuspecting men of the 
       British 4th Army advanced into the teeth of a hurricane of
       German fire. This well-illustrated anthology examines the 
       events of that terrible day from two very different 
       perspectives. The vivid eyewitness account of the battle 
       from the soldier's point of view is provided by Edward 
       Liveing of the London Regiment. After joining the London 
       Regiment in 1914, Liveing was deployed to both Palestine 
       and to France, where he was wounded at the Battle of the 
       Somme in 1916. This book describes his war on the front 
       line up until his injury on the Somme.

Also 
       on the field that day and engaged in filming the battle 
       for posterity was cameraman Lieut. Geoffrey Malins, who 
       produced the famous documentary film of the battle. At the
       outbreak of war in 1914, Malins, aged 28, traveled to the 
       Western Front where he acted as a freelance war 
       correspondent, filming newsreels in Belgium and France. 
       1915 brought a fateful change of direction for Malins when
       he was recruited by the British Kinematograph 
       Manufacturers Association to make a film of the 
       preparations and the execution of a battle on the Western 
       Front. This proved to be a dangerous business and by the 
       end of the first year Malins, now with the rank of 
       Lieutenant, had found himself deafened, gassed and twice 
       wounded in the line of duty. Malins continued his work as 
       a wartime cameraman before he was discharged from the army
       in 1918, having suffered bad health for sometime 
       previously.

These two contrasting accounts 
       provide a remarkable insight into the chaotic events as 
       they unfolded on the battlefield and provide the reader 
       with two very different views of the battle as well as the
       visual records as produced by Malins, and the other 
       photographers and artists at work on the Somme that day.
