History Source Help

Hello, fellow TSR members.

Does anyone know anything that contradicts the source below:

- Balance of females over the age of fourteen in Britain:
595 per thousand in 1911.
638 per thousand in 1921.
- Proportion of widows in Britain:
38 per thousand in 1911.
43 per thousand in 1921.

- Arthur Marwick, The Deluge: British Society and the First World War (1965).

I am writing an essay on whether WWI was a war worth fighting (my answer is yes). This source obviously doesn't support my argument, but I was wondering if any of you know if there is a contradiction to this source, which will back-up my answer.
