give a few facts and figures. We are maintaining at the present 
      time in the field and in our garrisons the equivalent of upwards 
      of 100 divisions apart from the vast Navy and Air Forces and 
      all the workers in the munitions shops. Many of course are not 
      mobile but 67 of them are at the front and in constant or frequent 
      contact with the enemy. We are fighting incessantly on three 
      separate fronts in engaged. Of course there are over twice as 
      many American troops on the western Northwest Europe in Italy 
      and in Burma. Of all the troops landed in France the losses sustained 
      in fighting by the British Army and the United States troops 
      have been very level in proportion as many to the numbers front 
      as there are troops of the British Commonwealth. We in fact have 
            lost half as many as our American Allies.       
 
                                                            
 
 
If you take killed only British and losses are. We have taken 
      measures which I announced some weeks ago to keep our armies 
      Canadians have lost a larger proportion than the United States 
      heavier though the United States up to the full strength whatever 
      the losses may be and also to reinforce our divisions--I wish 
      they were more numerous-- by supplementary units brigades and 
      so forth
