6. Why was this published in December 1916?
Content/own knowledge – put your answer on a post-it.
The Effects of the Battle of the Somme, according to General Haig
A considerable portion of the German soldiers are now practically beaten men, ready to surrender if they could, thoroughly tired of the war and expecting nothing but defeat. It is true that the amount of ground we have gained is not great. That s nothing. We have proved our ability to force the enemy out of strong defensive positions and to defeat him. The German casualties have been greater than ours.
Part of a report written in December 1916, sent by Haig to the British Cabinet
