Britain's 275,844

Often scotched but never killed has been the widespread lie that Britain has let the men of her Colonies and Dominions do most of her fighting. Last week, when Deputy Prime Minister Clement Attlee announced casualty figures for the Empire, the lie was nailed: between Sept. 3, 1939 and Sept. 3, 1942, British Empire fighting forces lost 514,993 men in killed, wounded, missing and prisoners. Of these, 275,844 were from the United Kingdom, 239,149 from the Dominions and Colonies.

Japan's 11

The Navy said last week that there was no further enemy resistance on Attu Is land. A few Japs remained. They would probably die. Score so far: Japanese dead or wounded, 1,791 ; Japanese prisoners, 11.
