Killed, wounileil anil missing over
7000, or 13 per cent, of the total,
snys the Review. In all battles and
operations in Cuba during the Span
ish-American war the Americans
lost onl' 1G91 men in killed,
wounded and missing, although the
Americans were the attacking forces.
These losses were sustained bj
armies aggregating 30,000 men, but
the operations included half a dozen
battles under conditions as trying as
those which the British now endure.
During the civil war there were
terrible slaughters, but few which
exceed in intensity the Modeler river
charges or the battle of Tugela river.
In two days at Gettysburg the Union
armies lost in killed, wounded and
missing 23,001 men, but the percent
age of'loss, compared with the men
engaged, was not as high as in South
African battles. At Antietam 12,.
4UU men were unable to answer tO
' roll call in the Union armies, out of
over ten times that number, but that
was the bloodiest battle of the war
Ihc terrible losses the British
armies have suffered in the South
Africa campaign would be suflicient

They have been compelled to storm

soldiers of Methuen, Gatacre and
Buller pushed forward under

eagerly and willingly to the last com
wand as to the first.
Ihe increasing lists of dead,
wounded and missing have brought
sorrow to half the homes of Kngland,
but they hove not abated one jot the
