How many British men were injured in World War 2?

Answer 1

According to my latest almanac figures, the United Kingdom lost 357,000 dead from all causes. Additionally there were almost 370,000 wounded.

'All causes' of deaths doubtless includes a large number dead from accident and disease. A typical western army in WWII would probably have lost a quarter or a third of its total from these non-battle causes.

Thus, while not definitive, we can estimate that the UK suffered about 250,000 battle deaths and another 370,000 wounded for a total of around 600,000. Another 100,000 or so would have died from accidents or disease.

The UK mobilized a total of under 6,000,000 men for the entire war of six years. Thus their total casualties from all causes would have been around 10% - very light considering the length of the war and the skill of their main enemy. The UK's primary allies from the start of the conflict (Canada, Austalia, and New Zealand) mobilized a total of about 2,300,000 men. Of these about 335,000 were killed or wounded, for a casualty rate of about 15%, or fifty percent higher than the the British themselves.
