- Mines_on_the_first_day_of_the_Somme abstract "The Mines on the first day of the Somme comprised 19 mines of varying sizes, dug by tunnelling companies of the Royal Engineers under German lines on the Western Front during the First World War. The group consisted of eight large and eleven small charges which were detonated in the morning of 1 July 1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme (1 July – 18 November 1916). The joint explosion of the mines on the first day of the Battle of the Somme ranks among the largest non-nuclear explosions. The most important of the 19 mines were beneath Hawthorn Ridge Redoubt at Beaumont-Hamel, beneath a German field fortification known as Schwabenhöhe just south of La Boisselle and three in a sector named The Tambour opposite Fricourt.The 19 mines prepared for the first day of the Somme can be grouped into the large charge beneath Hawthorn Ridge Redoubt at Beaumont-Hamel, the large Lochnagar and Y Sap mines and small Glory Hole charges placed near La Boisselle, the three large Triple Tambour charges opposite Fricourt and the two large Bulgar Point and Kasino Point mines and nine small charges further south. Brigadier Sir James Edmonds wrote in 1932 that \"Lack of manpower prevented more being undertaken.\" and in 2007 Sir Martin Gilbert wrote that although fewer mines than planned had been completed, \"... it was a formidable enterprise\". The time, the Lochnagar and Hawthorn Ridge mines were the largest ever detonated and the sound of the blast was considered the loudest man-made noise in history. Reports suggested that the sound was heard in London and beyond. The mine detonations on the first day of the Somme were surpassed on 7 June 1917, by the mines in the Battle of Messines (7–14 June).".
