Somme Mud

SOMME MUD tells of the devastating experiences of Edward Lynch, a young Australian private soldier during the First World War when he served with the 45th battalion of the Australian Infantry Forces on the Western Front at the Somme, which saw the most bloody and costly fighting of the war. In just eight weeks, there were 23,000 Australian casualties. SOMME MUD vividly captures the magnitude of war through the day-to-day experiences of an ordinary infantryman. Lynch captures the essence and contradictions of war.
