57,500 British soldiers (1/3 of the army) were killed, wounded or missing on the 1st day and it was known as the heaviest day's combat losses ever suffered by the British Army. It only took the Germans a few minutes to wipe out the advancing soldiers. They didn't need to aim, all they had to do was reload and shoot.
