7.28 AM GMT, the battle of Somme began the worst day in British millitary history.
By the end of the battle 68000 British men lay dead.
May they rest in peace.

I agree, but that's less than the number of Roman dead at the end of the Battle of Cannae (which they lost against Hannibal and his amazing elephants - the bloodiest one-day battle in history).
