Gommecourt footage/photos

[artyali]

Would anyone happen to know if there is any archived or available footage/photographs of the Battle of Gommecourt 1/7/1916 and where i might be able to start looking?

NOthing that I know of. Very little photography of actual fighting exists for any period of the war. Men were not allowed to take cameras into the lines and the official cameramen's equipment was so cumbersome that it was very restricting. A lot of 'action' shots were staged for public consumption.
