Mr. Boyce discusses the Battle of the Somme as being the point where the Allies switched from defensive to offensive strategies.

Transcription

The Battle of the Somme you see, it was back and forth. It was, it wasn’t, it was really a decisive battle as far as we were concerned because the Germans, ever after the Battle of the Somme they were on the defensive and before that we were on the defensive and they were on the offensive, but the Battle of the Somme just reversed the situation as it were.
