I read something that places the losses of World War I into perspective.

In 1935 a British writer named Arthur Mee coined the term "thankful village". These were villages or towns or parishes in the United Kingdom and Ireland who had lost none of their sons to the Great War. Of all the thousands of cities and towns and hamlets and parishes only 85 have been identified as Thankful Villages. Of those, only 14 are classified as doubly thankful in that the also lost none of their sons in World War 2.

In France, where the same survey was also conducted, the number of "Thankful Villages"? One.
