The Somme offensive was the main Allied attack on the Western Front in 1916, and the bloodiest. The offensive took place along a 30 kilometer front north of the Somme River in the Picardy region of France. Between July 1 and November 19, 1916, at a staggering cost in human lives, the Allies gained only a few kilometers of territory. Of the 623,907 Allied casualties, more than 24,000 were Canadians or Newfoundlanders. The Germans suffered 670,000 casualties. During a September 1916 offensive at the Somme, Canadian soldiers were supported by tanks - the first use of such weapons on the Western Front.
