" I don't have the total casualty figures to hand, but around 23,000 Aussies died at Pozieres alone."

I've given the figures as quoted by the Australian Anzac day website ( and I checked from other sources and they all tie up) on the other thread. Whether talking about total casulaties or actual dead the Anzac losses were just under the UK losses per head of population though as someone else pointed out it is so close as to be meaningless. There is no point in breaking it down further by certain events or certain regions. The whole picture is when you look at the total losses in the entire conflict. Your point about every little village having its war memorial etc will be right enough but of course that is mirrored across the UK.
