The Minister added that the military statistics of all countries showed the suicide rate was higher among the military population than among civilians. Ii England and Wales civilian suicides were at the rate of 1.07 per 10.000, while military suicides were at the rate of 3.79' per 10,000. The English ratio of civilian to military suicides was 100 to 227.
