My definition of evil, as best as I can put it into words, is doing something bad or harmful deliberately without extenuating circumstances, to further your own ends or to hurt people. The Somme line was a case of two opposing groups fighting for their lives because their commanders ordered them into battle. There were cases of evil in this campaign, there's no doubt about that. However, the two groups of soldiers killing each other was not evil, or not evil on their part. It was the result of misguided and possibly evil decisions by the command.
