It would be useful to know what percentage these numbers are of all deaths in Belgium for those years.

@ James Leonard ParkI found the following data on the internet: Belgian population is around 10.000.000 (+), the general dying number is 10,5 per 1.l000 deaths, making it a total of around 105.000 deaths.  I will inform you as soon as I receive the (requested) official, correct figures.
