As noted the amount in combat was less, the proportion per capita was less etc.

Overall Wilson came across as arrogant, got his arguement that decisions should be made on input turned around on himself and essentially diminished the sway USA had by doing so.

Of those mobilised Australia, Canada and New Zealand suffered about 140,000 dead, almost half a million wounded. As percentage casualties they ranged from 40 to 66% of those mobilised. Compared to 8% for USA.

... Mind you the Aussie soldiers liked the Americans that they took under their wings... Monash certainly used them to good effect and in a manner that the American's approved of.
