July 1, 1916 the Brits had 20,000 fatalities, most within a two hour period on the first day of the Somme battle.


And the French lost over 27,000 men killed on August 22, 1914 when they launched Plan XVII into Germany. At that point in the war they were wearing brightly colored uniforms and marching in linear formations. They got mowed down by machine gun and artillery fire.
