The First Day on the Somme ISBN 0 14 139071 9 is a World War I First World War military history book by Martin Middlebrook , published in 1971 in literature 1971 . Martin Middlebrook covers in detail the events leading up to and during 1 July 1916, the first day on the Sommefirst day of the Battle of the Somme 1916 Battle of the Somme . Middlebrook deals almost entirely with the British Army units and gives little attention to the France French contribution, especially south of the Somme River . Early chapters deal with the formation of Kitchener s Army New Army , for which 1 July was the first major battle, and the origins and planning of the Somme offensive. The coverage of the fighting is divided by time of day, starting with the hours leading up to zero , followed by zero hour , the morning, afternoon and night, with review chapters between each to sum up the fighting. The book concludes with the aftermath of the first day and a calculation of the cost of the fighting. The British casualty figures compiled by Middlebrook are often quoted as the definitive tally for 1 July. Throughout the book Middlebrook uses quotations from soldiers involved in the fighting on the day. He selected ten men whose story he follows through the day. These men present a cross section of the British Army of 1916 &mdash regular, New Army and Territorial Force &mdash and include private rank private s, non commissioned officer s, lieutenant s and a battalion commander lieutenant colonel . One of the men, Private Billy McFadzean , is posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross .
