Identified Soldiers by Battalion
Important:
The battalion totals reflect those recovered and buried by German burial parties after the battle and should not be interpreted as the total number of men killed from each battalion.
Battalions that suffered heavy losses further from the German lines may therefore have fewer soldiers represented at Pheasant Wood, despite suffering significant losses during the Battle of Fromelles.
