Worcestershire Chronicle 10th March 1900:
One could rewrite the above reports as: Between 16th and 27th February 1900 the following casualties were incurred in Natal: 4 Irish battalions suffered a total of 541 casualties (114 killed, 427 wounded) making a casualty rate per Irish battalion of 135. 1 Scottish battalion suffered a total of 85 casualties (18 killed, 67 wounded) making a casualty rate per Scottish battalion of 85. 6 English battalions suffered a total of 76 casualties (5 killed, 71 wounded) making a casualty rate per English battalion of 13. 1 Welsh battalion suffered a total of 9 casualties (1 killed, 8 wounded) making a casualty rate per Welsh battalion of 9. Has there ever been made a meaningful comparative analysis of the casualties incurred by the Countries who contributed men to the Imperial cause? |
