Re: 1916 private soldier, Battle of the Somme.
It tended to be the more experienced soldier who survived the first day of the Battle of the Somme due to having ditched his kit at the earliest opportunity. This reduced the likelihood of his becoming bogged down in the mud and presenting the enemy with an easy target.
