Considering the high number of soldiers who were crushed by shells and bombs, who disappeared without leaving any trace, historians are unable to come out with a precise figure on the death toll. With regards to soldiers, it is estimated that the war claimed close to 1 400 000 lives.

The Ministry of Defence has created a Website with a huge database, containing the family name, first name, date and place of birth, and date of death of each soldier who died for France , as well as other useful information.

In this way, it becomes much easier for families to trace their relatives.

Mémoire des hommes (Their Memory) aims at putting at the disposal of the public databases built from the numbering and indexing of biographical files archived by the French Ministry of Defence. It equally undertakes to honour the memory of those who participated or sacrificed their life during contemporary conflicts.
