No, not day 1 of the war,... Day 1 of the Battle of the Somme where the British had something like 60 000 casualties in mounting a very ill concieved attack against the German trenches. A great many died moving to the British ! front line, never mind the German positions. They had been told the Artillery barrage would prevent the German defence: It was a lie !
