Because of lip-reading video, and the song that's sung at the end, I re-stumbled onto the We're Here Because We're Here memorial project from 1 July 2016:

It's a very moving 100th anniversary tribute to the 19,240 British and Commonwealth soldiers who died on the first day of the Battle of the Somme.

 

I definitely encourage people to look through the website and check out the images and videos.
