One in four aristocrats died—a far higher proportion than any other group. (Across the rest of the British forces the ratio was one in eight.)

Michelle Dockery and Dame Maggie Smith
Siobhan Finneran and Elizabeth McGovern
Phyllis Logan and Penelope Wilton
Great, Correct Answer!!!
Oops!! Wrong Answer..
Michelle Dockery ("Lady Mary Crawley") and Dame Maggie Smith ("Dowager Countess of Grantham"). Too bad for the downstairs staff! Ironically, Dockery has mused that in real life her working-class background would have placed her in the shoes of her housemaid Anna rather than in those of the aristocrat she portrays in the series.)

the Grenadier Guards
Scotland Yard
the Savoy's wait staff
a music hall group called "The Cheerful Charlies"
Great, Correct Answer!!!
