Thats a hell of alot of Logistic personel. That would be fine with today's armies but back during The Great War, all a soldier needed was ammo and food/water. That was basically it. You use a 1:3 ratio not a 1:6.

That is a 1:3 Ratio. I have 2Mil men Mobilized (minus 25,000 lost in Greece, but that just means more supplies!)
