It's unknown how many didn't explode but an estimated 30% of the 1,500,000,000 shells fired along the Western Front were duds. They are still finding unexploded munitions in France and Belgium. It's called the "Iron Harvest" and every year about 900 tons of unexploded munitions are uncovered.

Since 1945, over 600 French bomb disposal personel have been killed removing the rusting bombs and shells.
