CANADA’S CASUALTIES

Canada’s casualty list up to November 1, 1918 (eleven days before the armistice), totaled 211,358, classified as follows:  Killed in action, 34,877; died of wounds or disease, 15,457; wounded, 152,779; presumed dead, missing in action and known prisoners of war, 8,245.  Canada’s total land forces numbered nearly a half million men; that is, over eighty per cent of the men of the Dominion of military age, who were physically fit.  They constituted over forty per cent of the male population.  It is a strange coincidence of figures that the losses above enumerated constitute just about the same per cent (forty) of the armed forces, that those forces bore to the young nation’s total manhood.  Canada’s efforts and sacrifices in the war have not been fully understood.  When they are, they will evoke the admiration of the world, and of history.

GERMAN LOSSES

Exact figures covering, German losses since August 1st, 1914, when the war began with the German invasion of Belgium, cannot be had.  The records are kept at Berlin and their figures have been withheld from even the people of Germany.

The only estimates available are those made by commanders opposing the German forces, and these were confessedly cautious, the allied policy being to minimize estimates of enemy reverses, so that no false encouragement might reach the public in any of the allied countries.  On this basis, the estimates approximate a German loss of over 1,580, killed and 4,490,000 disabled, prisoners, and missing, a total of 6,070,000.

The Austrian losses in killed are estimated at 800,000 and 3,200, prisoners, wounded and missing.
