The Battle of Loos formed part of a wider offensive conducted by both French and British forces in September 1915. It cost 60,000 British casualties and failed to achieve its objectives. One notable aspect of the offensive was the British use of chlorine gas, which backfired and led to over 2000 British casualties.
