hey niteowl try the books by lyn macdonald. believe there is one for every year of the war and focuses on the BEF with a lot of personal references. also keegan’s THE FACE OF BATTLE has a chapter on the somme.

Keegan's "The Face of Battle" is a great book! I have a copy that I loan to people who are just taking up reading military history.

I'll have to look for MacDonald's books; thanks for the tip!
