Hi April, By casualty do you mean those killed, or all of those killed, wounded or injured in the course of their duties at whichever front they happened to be serving on or of course at sea? Casualty figures were sometimes given in local newspapers for what they were worth. Often the full figures weren't given by the government because of the exceedingly high numbers. Very bad for civilian moral. Also it could be days or even weeks for the numbers to be even guessed at. If it is an officer that you are looking for then he will probably be listed in the London Gazette which is free on line. http://www.gazettes-online.co.uk/home.aspx?GeoType=London If it's any other ranks I doubt you will find a great deal if any info. in the local press unless a family posted an obituory - there could be an awful lot to look through. Hope this helps, Regards, Mick
