November 11, 2018 marks 100 years since the end of World War I. The signing of the Armistice brought to an end the war that Ernest Hemingway called “the most colossal, murderous, mismanaged butchery that has ever taken place on earth.”

A century on, as the world celebrates the anniversary with ceremonies and memorials, this OneShot offers a glance of that butchery from Somme, France.
