So far as this return can be tested by Martinien’s Liste des Officiers tués et blessés pendant les Guerres de l’Empire, it appears to be very fairly accurate; Martinien accounts for 171 casualties, the return for 179. In detail the figures compare as follows:—

Killed. Wounded. Killed. Wounded. Missing.
