casualty list
War's grim tally
A casualty list is an official record of people killed, wounded, captured, or missing in military action.
The term extends to any enumeration of those harmed by disaster or conflict: The earthquake's casualty list grew as rescue workers searched the rubble.
Casualty lists carry weight—they transform abstract numbers into named individuals.
