Battle of Chillianwala - Casualties

Casualties

The final losses to Gough's army were 757 killed, 1,651 wounded and 104 missing for a total of 2,512. Almost 1,000 of the casualties were British rather than Indian. This was mainly a result of the disaster which befell the 24th Foot, which suffered 590 casualties, over 50 percent.

Sikh casualties have been estimated at 3,600 dead and wounded.

An obelisk later erected at Chillianwalla by the British government preserves the names of those who fell in the battle.
