Ghosts on the Somme: Filming the Battle, June-July 1916

The Battle of the Somme is one of the most famous and earliest war films ever made. It records the events of 1 July 1916, one of the most disastrous days in the history of the British Army, and had a huge impact when it was shown. Its images are often used in books and documentaries, but how much of the film was faked? The authors use modern location photographs to explore the battle landscape and the way it was used to create the film.
