Its a misconception that the battle of the somme was fought in conditions such as those shown in the photo. Somme lasted 8 months and its only towards the end ofthe battle that the conditions prevented further "progress". If you want to talk mud talk Paschendale {which is where that photo is from} in Belgium.
So in order to be historically accurate Red hill currently in the paschendale range of dampness
