Untitled Worksheet
Source Analysis: Pals Battalions during the Battle of the Somme
Source A: Letter from a Pals Battalion Volunteer
"We all joined together, young men from the same town, eager to serve and fight side by side. When we arrived at the front, we felt a strong sense of unity and purpose. However, the reality of the trenches and the heavy shelling soon showed us how brutal this war was. Many of us never returned, and those who survived bore the scars of that terrible experience. Our community felt the loss deeply, and some questioned whether fighting alongside friends was worth the danger we faced. Despite this, we all believed we were doing our duty for our country and our families." Provenance: John Doe, 1916, personal letter to a friend, primary source.
