The casualty list originated in The Globe but I saw it in the Charlottetown Morning Guardian. "The Globe issued a special this morning announcing the following casualties in the fight at Modder River on Sunday." So it could have been either newspaper which got the battle wrong.

Have changed the topic title, thanks very much for the correction.
