    I guess the old memory is still working okay as the "Introduction" of this report confirms there were more American battle deaths (on both sides) in the U.S. Civil War than in all the others.


    The "others" are Americans who dies in WW1, WW2 and Vietnam put together. Although the figures of those who died in the ACW vary it is about 3/4 million.

    There are reports that around 50,000 Brits went over to fight, and a lot of those Americans who died were 1st and 2nd British settlers. There were other nationalities as well including French settlers and I think they wore the 165th New York Zouave Uniform.
