Germany, though it lost the largest number of counted dead - those of Russia and Turkey remain uncounted with any exatitude - was not the worst proportionate sufferer. That country was Serbia, of whose pre-war population of five million, 125.000 were killed or died as soldiers, but another 650.000 civilians succumbed to privation or disease, making a total of 15% of the population lost compared with something between two and three percent of the British, French and German populations.
