First Battle of the Somme/ Battle of Albert, 1916

Second day of the Battle of the Somme. Haig had originally planned to continue the offensive along the entire line, but as the extent of the casualties on the first day of the battle becomes clear each corps is forced to cancel its part in the attack.
