EXACTLY 100 years ago today, September 16, 1916, was the Durham Light Infantry’s bloodiest day on the Somme.
In one 24 hour period, 405 men were killed. Most of them perished in the Battle of Flers Courcelette, which was the first engagement in which the British deployed their new-fangled tanks against the enemy.
