Fox's Regimental Losses REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. that the regiment took 490 into action. It lost 79 killed, 170 wounded, and 48 missing ; total, 297. Many of the missing were killed. The deaths from wounds increased the number killed to 117,* or 23 per cent, of those engaged, the greatest loss of life in any infantry regiment during the war, in any one battle. The regiment held an exposed position, and Gen. Warren states that when he endeavored to extricate them, " they were unwilling to make a backward movement." This is the regiment which, at Games' Mill, having been badly thinned, closed up its ranks and counted off anew "with great coolness while exposed to a most terrific fire !"- -(Official Eeport.) The following list of percentages will indicate fairly the extent of loss in killed, to which a regiment is liable in battle. The number engaged is, in most cases, taken from the official reports. In some instances, however, the number given was ascertained from statements in regimental histories. PERCENTAGES OF KILLED IN REGIMENTS, IN PARTICULAR ENGAGEMENTS.
