"United Kingdom and colonies"

Latest comment: 6 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

Why does the table row for military dead of "United Kingdom (and colonies)" say 383,700; quoting the Commonwealth War Graves Commission's report from 2014-15 page 38, when that number does not show up on page 38 of the quoted report? Additionally, in the "Footnotes" section the explanation for that figure says that the number includes non-dominion colonies, yet India has its own table row for military dead listing 87,000 dead. Shouldn't that number be included in "United Kingdom (and colonies)" then? (BountyFlamor (talk) 19:36, 3 September 2017 (UTC))

Go to page 39 The UK total is 244,843 + 138,915=383,758. The UK includes includes non-dominion colonies less India, that is the way the Commonwealth War Graves Commission presented is figures--Woogie10w (talk) 19:35, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

In that case the info provided in the footnotes section needs to be corrected.(BountyFlamor (talk) 19:43, 3 September 2017 (UTC))
