That was at the Battle of the Somme. I don't have figures but more men went out there than in any other battle, ever. They had just invented automatic machine guns, and the officers didn't know what to do with them. So somebody had the great idea of sending masses of men against them. Cutting grass with a sythe comes to mind.

In the Battle of the Somme, 1916, the British alone lost some 21,000 dead in the first day's battle.
