Well that is a crappy list. It does not show the contribution of the
Commonwealth countries, just lumping them in with the British Empire.
Canada, with a 1/10th the population of the US, mobilized 620,000
troops. They suffered 67,000 deaths, more than 10% of the force, and
there were 250,000 casualties.
