CASUALTIES ON BRITISH FRONT.
THE Westminster Gazette hits compiled figures of the number of troops engaged, and the number of casualties, on the British front from 31st July to oth October of last year. The percentages- of troops engaged, and of casualties during the period of heavy fighting are as under: — t Troops Engaged. Casualties. Per cent. Per Cent. English 70 70 Scottish 8 10 Irish 3 G Overseas 16 8 These figures are apparently approximate, for. the total in one column falls short of the centum; they are, however, consistent with Mr Lloyd George’s statement that 75
per cent, of the loss has fallen on England. But, after the English manner, English work is done without ostentation, and English losses are suffered silently.
