How many people were recruited each year in the UK in World War 1 WW1?

Answer 1

British troops, not including Empire troops on the Western front from 1914-1919 were over 4 million men, and that British total peaked in 1917 with well over 1.7 million Brits.

On top of that in other theatres Palestine, Africa, Mesopotomia, Gallipoli etc there was a further 1.5 million Brits, also the Royal Navy and Marines who had well over a million personel who were controlling the German seas and the home seas.

Lastly there was the British soldiers that stayed at home protecting the British mainland and they numbered over a million as well, but never got out of the UK but were just as important in Britains home defence.

So grand total were over 8 million men plus your women nurses and other different branches that helped with the war effort.

Incidentely there was a further million men that failed to pass the medicals and could not join up and they did jobs at home like police, Ambulance, fire or worked in munitions factorys like the women.

Answer 2
