Battle of the Somme

Today marked the one hundredth year since the battle if the Somme in The First World War.  
In total 1million Troops, German and allied, were killed.  
To commemorate this at 7.28am (when the whistle blew to start the battle) there was a two minute silence.  
One minute to remember those who had fallen and one to remember those who survived and returned home, probably changed forever.
