SOMME 110 : Commemorative Journal | Horizon Publications

The Somme 110 : Commemorative Journal is a major commemorative publication marking the 110th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme, one of the defining events of the First World War and one of the most profound moments in modern military history.

Created as a tribute to all who served, suffered and fell, the Journal brings together remembrance, history and reflection from across the nations whose forces took part in the Somme offensive. It honours the courage and sacrifice of soldiers from Britain, Ireland, France, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, other Allied contingents and Germany, while also acknowledging the immense human cost borne by all sides.

The publication features contributions and messages of remembrance from senior military leaders and international Chiefs of Staff representing countries connected with the Somme. These reflections offer a contemporary perspective on service, sacrifice, duty and shared memory, linking the experiences of 1916 with the values upheld by today’s armed forces.

The Journal also includes a foreword from His Majesty King Charles III, alongside a message from the Archbishop of Canterbury, reflecting the national, spiritual and historic significance of the anniversary. Their words help frame the publication not only as a record of past events, but as a solemn act of remembrance for present and future generations.

Editorial features include battlefield photography, regimental histories, cemetery profiles, personal stories, rolls of honour and commemorative messages, Somme 110 seeks to preserve the memory of 1916 with dignity and clarity. It explores the scale of the battle, the men who fought it, the families forever changed by it, and the landscapes of remembrance that continue to bear witness more than a century later.

More than a historical record, the Journal is an act of remembrance — a tribute to the men who went forward on the Somme, to those who never returned, to those who carried its memory home, and to the enduring responsibility we share to remember them.
