The reader should be aware, that in military returns, the figures which represent the strength of regiments often greatly exceed the actual number of effective men _present_. There are always numerous casualties, not accounted for in returns, particularly before a battle. The _missing_ are not all eventually _loss_; for, if not taken prisoners most of them join after the strife. The strength of the British was of course greater on the 16th, before the action at Quatre-Bras, where the loss was particularly severe, as may be seen in the subjoined tables, in the 1st foot-guards, 1st Royal Scots, 32d, 33d, 42d, 44th, 69th, 79th, and 92d regiments. The officers who afterwards died of their wounds, are here returned _killed_. RETURNS _of the strength (officers, non-commissionned officers, drummers, trumpeters, rank and file) of the British army, on the morning of the 18th of June 1815; and of the total loss, in killed, wounded and missing, on the three days: 16th, 17th, and 18th._ STAFF.
