No. 2 mental health cases that received decent care.
From a primary health care clinic?

Heard an interesting theory once: most of the UK’s best young stock was sent to die in WWI and WWII. In a lot of communities the only people left were women, the elderly and the infirm. Breeding stock took a very serious knock, but the population still had to recover its losses somehow, I guess.
One went to a district hospital. Transport was arranged and he was driven to a larger hospital.From a primary health care clinic?

The second went to a clinic. Arrangements were made for her to go to a district hospital to see a doctor. She was picked up from her home and sent to hospital.
The woman had family support as she had pretty much lost her marbles. The man...nope.Both sent alone without support or family?

Not so fast.Not a factual theory though, in WW1 the UK lost 880k men, about 6% of the adult male population and in WW2 around 380k, so just over 2% of adult males.
The theory also doesn't work when you factor in all the British inventions that occurred after WW1 onwards.
I think the retarded one might be in a recreational vehicle somewhere in ZA.

what he says is not true, but
For starters the number is not known with very great certainty.
If say a platoon was lost entirely it was entirely likely that the members of it all knew each other and came from a small localised area before the war. In this way a single attack could cost the lives of virtually all the servicemen in a particular village or parish. leaving only the old, the women and the very young.
It was outside GPSo the Dept of Health doesn't supply proper mental health services then? Remember Esidimeni?
It was more than just "The Kop" originally, it was actually "Spion Kop" when opened in 1906.

Slight deviation. I went to the last standing football match. Fir Park. Motherwell vs Rangers.
I don't know what you'd consider good service. The patient was transported to and from the facility. People from the department visited for few days upon their return. Yes, she was an outpatient.Thanks. I'm describing outside GP as well.

I know the department of health and social development is in a bit of a mess but I also know there are dedicated individuals within the cesspool created by political interference. Maybe these people just happened to be fortunate to be assisted by dedicated members of the medical fratenity.
Given that tens of thousands are listed as missing presumed dead... I think not. Also you are forgetting the casualties of the colonies and overseas territiories, many of which were not very well administered.UK and US deaths are known accurately for both wars.

Clue: when a casualty figure for a conflict that lasted several years is an EXACT round number, like say, 880 000, then it is an estimate since the real numbers are not known with any precision.
In short, your statement lacks truth.
Why unassistedFacetious. A taxi for 300km? Unassisted? Mental patient you're going to let loose into the country?
Your EXACT figure is from wik... ja nevermind.Maybe your thinking is the problem then. Britain has precise records of war dead, you can still search the archives by name and service number and it will show all details. There are very few missing, not enough to make the theory mentioned by @The Voice possible.
For example, from page 155 of the following link
https://www.parliament.uk/contentassets/81be8c2610894681bded311344be967d/olympicbritain.pdf#page=161
Three tImes as many British forces died on the first day of the Battle of the Somme (19,240) than have been killed in every combat operation since the end of WWII. Had the Prime Minister read out their names in the House of Commons, as has been done since 2003, it would have taken at least 11 hours.
Over the course of the war, 880,000 British forces died, 6% of the adult male population and 12.5% of those serving. The toll on the adult male population meant that the 1921 Census recorded 109 women for every hundred men.
In WWII there were 384,000 soldiers killed in combat
The exact figure was 885,138. It's a pity you don't have a very good clue, isn't it?

In short, you are quite a passive aggressive numpty, aren't you?
