Question: How many British men were sent to fight in World War 2!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
At the outbreak of the war the British Army strength was about 850,000, by the end it was approximately 3!.5 million!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you can get the population figures for England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland and use 40% of that number, I think it would be very close!. Everyone was involved one way or another!. I said 40% to allow for women and children too young to enlist!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i think they would send in as many as they could or had left since they were crippled in world war 1 but still keeping small patrols on their borderWww@QuestionHome@Com
