The only black combatants I know of are some French colonial units that served commendably in several key battles. The Brits had some too, Nigerians.
The 'Black Army' that marched in from Africa – DW – 11/10/2018
Two million Africans were killed when the continent was drawn into the conflagration of World War I. The war and its aftermath wrought seismic changes in Africa that remain at the root of conflicts in many countries.
Just ignore the bullshit editorializing and spin at the link; most Africans were better off under European administration than under their own corrupt dictators. A couple of exceptions don't disprove that fact.

And why should they. The heroes that died in that war from this country were AMERICANS. Americans should not be counted by their ethnicity but by their nationality. To do otherwise is just an attempt to divide the country and a house divided CANNOT stand.They were just not keeping records that way back then.
Funny things is, in 1918-19 Black Americans weren't considered part of our country.And why should they. The heroes that died in that war from this country were AMERICANS.

American black soldiers were used for support and logistics during WWi
They mainly were used as manual labor, such as unloading cargo off ships, building projects, and driving supply trucks. Only a tiny number, if any, were assigned to combat units. ...

There were 2 divisions that were totally black. They lost 1,647 and 3,547 men in combat, respectively.
And the men serving in manual labor jobs, such as unloading cargo off ships, building projects, and driving supply trucks were still in the US Army and still serving in the war.

Where is your link or what is your sources for the info.
Rather strange....the statistics for black deaths are not available for WW One?They were just not keeping records that way back then.
I looked, but did not find a single breakdown of casualties in WWI by race.
But I guess you can look at "Soldiers of the Great Wat", 1920. It includes photographs of most of those killed in the war, I guess you can browse through it and count them.
