and 21 million wounded. The total number of deaths includes 9.7 million military personnel and about 6.8 million civilians.
Over 40,000 lost a limb, many were blinded and many suffered severe facial injuries.

France 1,350,000 dead
British Empire 950,000 dead
Austria-Hungary 900,000 dead

Rumania 350,000 dead
Turkey 300,000 dead
USA 100,000 dead
The Rest 150,000 dead
