LILLE, FRANCE - JUNE 30: The shadow of a man is cast upon the over 72,000 names of soldiers killed in the Battle of Somme at the Thiepval Memorial and Anglo-French cemetery as the 90th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme approaches on June 30, 2006 in Thiepval, France. The Thiepval Memorial on the Somme is one of the largest memorials to Britain's war dead. There are 600 British and French graves, and the names of 72,000 British soldiers are carved into the stone memorial. The Battle of the Somme was fought between 1 July and 18 November 1916, and claimed nearly 200,000 British lives. The British losses on the first day of the Battle of the Somme on 1 July 1916 were the Army's worst ever for a single day. (Photo by Scott Barbour/Getty Images)
