Like so many questions it will probably be solved by a visit to the archives.
If Rigg can find these figures for the German Armed Forces, it can only be easier for the majority of other combattants*.
According to Rigg p. 66
1914-18
Germany
100.000 soldiers
3.200 officers
12.000 casualties
Austro-Hungarian
300.000 soldiers
n/a officers
25.000 casualties
According to Rigg's research (table 5 p.64) there was a surprisingly high number of Jews and Mischlinge who served in the Wehrmacht.
97 Jews
967 Half Jews
607 Quarter Jews
1671 Total
5 Jews served with the Waffen-SS
1 Jewish Admiral
3 Half-Jewish Admirals
11 Half Jewish Generals!!
To name but a few of his figures.
An interesting book that anyone with an interest in this subject should have read.
*Not certain but I think I have seen similar religion tables for other armed forces.
