The Battle of Loos saw a change in Allied strategy, which up until then had been a series of small-scale assaults that achieved little or no ground gained. As the fog of war descended the first day's gains were lost over subsequent days' fighting and in the end the `Big Push' saw little achieved with Allied losses of about 50,000 men.
