Yep. The first day of The Battle of the Somme saw the British suffer over 57,000 casualties, including almost 20,000 dead.
Somme was the Stalingrad of WWI - ~1 million casualties from July to November, including ~300k dead.
Hell of a way to run an army...
And I'm not sure your numbers are all the British losses - but just the Fourth Army - the Third Army reported about 7,000 casualties (although there is some dispute if they're included in the ~60k/20k of which KIA, or represent additional British losses).
