The statistics are the number of casualties of war from the beginning of World War I a.k.a. "the war to end all wars" to the time of the finish of post production of the film, which are:

War dead since 1914: over 80,000,000

Missing or mutilated: over 150,000,000

Beneath the statistics is a saying, which is very ironic, due to the film it follows:

"Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori".

It is a line from the Roman lyrical poet Horace's Odes (iii 2.13) which is also used in anti-war poet Wildred Owen's poem of the same name. It can be translated into English in these ways:

"It is sweet and fitting to die for one's country."

"It is noble and glorious to die for your fatherland."

"It is beautiful and honorable to die for your fatherland."
