**POV: You’re a British Soldier at the Somme in World War I.** 🇬🇧⚔️

It’s **July 1, 1916**.

You’re standing near Beaumont-Hamel. Artillery is exploding around you. The Hawthorn Ridge mine has just detonated.

And in ten minutes, you have to climb out of the trench.

At **7:30 AM**, the whistle blows.

This immersive historical POV takes you into the **first day of the Battle of the Somme** — the bloodiest day in British Army history. Experience the bombardment, the terrifying advance across No Man’s Land, German machine-gun fire, shell craters, shattered wire and the desperate struggle just to survive.

More than **57,000 British soldiers became casualties that day**, with over **19,000 killed**.

This is not a story about glory.

It’s about what it might have felt like to be one ordinary soldier when the order came to go over the top.
