proportion of wounded to killed.
Included in the “Captured and missing” are many wounded men, also a large number of killed.
Their relative proportion cannot be ascertained, but it probably would not differ enough from the usual ratio to change the average to any extent.
In the preceding table the losses at Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Chickamauga, and Drewry's Bluff are omitted.
