BEAUMONT 57D SE1 and 2: Edition 2
Beaumont Hamel was the Somme sector assigned as an objective to the independent-minded professional-class reservists of the London Division in 1916; they achieved better results than their more conservative comrades of the Regular Army
Beaumont Hamel is a name which conjures up appalling visions of the catastrophic reverse suffered by men of VIII Corps, British Fourth Army on 1st July 1916, when thousands of men were killed and wounded for no gains whatsoever
