I believe its incorrect to name this article as "First battle of the Somme" as irregardless of the (1918) next to it, the title would suggest an article on the Somme offensive of 1916.

Not to mention that the article's text refers to the "Second battle of the Somme". I think there is a mistake here. --Chancemichaels 01:21, 23 October 2006 (UTC)Chancemichaels

[edit] Very bad summary of Operation Michael, the first offensive of the 1918 Spring Offensive.

This is a very bad summary of Operation Michael and also has a misleading name in reguards to the 1916 Battle of the Somme.

I am currently writing a coursework paper on Operation Michael, "Why did Operation Michael fail after it's initial success?". I would be glad to post it and/or contribute to the article once my essay as been graded and cleared in August 07. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by GBobly (talk • contribs) 00:41, 19 January 2007 (UTC).
