History

First World War

The village lies on the First World War battlefield of the Somme. Montauban lay close behind the German front-line and was turned into a fortified strongpoint. On 1 July 1916, the first day on the Somme, the village was seized by the British 30th Division in one of the few successful British advances of the day. In the village itself there is a monument to the Liverpool and Manchester 'Pals', who, as part of the 30th Division, were the first to reach the village.

gollark: No. As far as I know, at least, load is added more by being in channels than by having lots of people. And if lots of people are in the same channels, this doesn't create much additional load.
gollark: You can live without the missing things, but it's not ideal.
