The first day of the Battle of the Somme is the bloodiest in British Army history. Among the thousands of men who fought and died were soldiers from the Royal Berkshire Regiment. Andy Teal from Bracknell's great uncle was one of them. He tells the story of those men - as it happened, in the words of those who survived. Music: 'The Battle of the Somme', by Laura Rossi.
