What percentage of England's male population died during WWI? What percentage were between 18 & 35 years old?

Question

Of course I can search the Internet. It's what I've been doing for the last hour and I can't find it. I was waiting to see if I would hear from someone who actually KNEW the answer, thank you very much.

Ah, now we're getting somewhere. 2% of the population, so I guess we can assume that is roughly 4% of the male population...what percent of 18 to 35 year olds? I'm trying to figure out the impact on that particular generation.

Answer 1

John Keegan, the British military historian, estimates that the English death toll for 1914-18 was between 35 and 37 percent of the men of military age. That's about one in three, or three in ten if you like.

Answer 2

It's difficult to say because they would have served in The British Army, Royal Navy or Royal Flying Corp along with the Scots , Welsh and Irish and I think all the casualties were listed as British rather than from individual nations.

Answer 3

truthfully, i'd say that about sixty 5% have a minimum of tried it. One might want to ought to ask your self why it truly is so universal, and be curious to seek it out (in the right difficulty, i imagine every person might want to target it). i'm from Arizona, the position an rather good type of human beings smoke it!!

Answer 4

Great Britian (which is to say England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland) lost 733,000 killed during the War of which about 700,000 were in the military. Thus about 2% of the population was killed. (There were another 1,663,000 who were wounded.)
