In this episode we look at what happened when the sun went down on the first day of the Somme. How did the thousands of wounded lying in No Man’s Land survive? How did the stretcher bearers recover the wounded? What sounds could be heard on the battlefield that night? Their stories are told through the eyes of the soldiers, nurses, medics and stretcher bearers who were there.
