13,000 Union Soldiers died of disease and malnutrition at the Confederate prison in Andersonville, Georgia
The biggest killer of the American Soldiers and all the other nations' soldiers was disease, exposure, hunger and the worldwide influenza that killed more people in the war than wounds and fatal blows. I don't remember what they called that influenza that killed millions around the world but it wiped out a lot of the troops and the European civilian's. It hit all the continents from what I understand.
Answer this question… Soldiers infected in one country carried the infection to other countries.
Spanish Influenza. It actually started before the war ended. The pandemic started around June 1918 and the war ended Nov 1918. By the time soldiers returned home, the flu had already killed millions.
During the winter in Valley Forge, food and supplies were scarce. A majority of the soldiers had a lack of, or improper, clothing for the winter weather. When spring arrived, bringing warmer weather, disease struck the army. Influenza, typhus, typhoid, and dysentery wiped out two-thirds of the soldiers.

Of the United States soldiers who died in Europe, half of them fell to the influenza virus and not to the enemy. An estimated 43,000 servicemen who were mobilized for WWI died of influenza.

it made most of the soldiers sick
During World War I, disease spread rapidly due to the close quarters of soldiers in trenches, unsanitary conditions, and the movement of troops across different regions. Outbreaks of illnesses such as influenza, dysentery, and typhus were exacerbated by malnutrition and the lack of medical care. The return of soldiers to their home countries further facilitated the spread of diseases, impacting civilian populations as well. Additionally, the mass mobilization of troops created ideal conditions for the transmission of contagious diseases.

Often through malnutrition and infectious diseases, Russian soldiers in German camps - and vice versa - and Allied soldiers in Japanese camps much more so than British and American soldiers in German camps.
