casualty lists
Names of fallen
Casualty lists are official records of military personnel who have been killed, wounded, captured, or gone missing in action.
Historically published in newspapers during wartime, these lists informed families and communities about the fates of soldiers before individual notifications could reach them.
The term extends to any systematic accounting of deaths or injuries from disasters, accidents, or conflicts.
The casualty lists from the battle filled three newspaper columns.
- missing in actionCombat status, fate unknown
- body countTally of the deceased
- civilian casualtiesNoncombatants killed in conflict
- combat injuriesHarm from warfare
- wounded soldiersCombatants injured in battle
