Figures from Johnston[edit]

@AustralianRupert: - G'day. Johnston, That Magnificent 9th, p. 247 gives casualty figures that vary slightly from the AWM, not sure if you want to include as a note to acknowledge the discrepancy. His figures are: 177 KIA and DOW, 3 DOAS, 542 WIA, and 18 POW. He also gives total number of members of the bn during the course of the war as 2,903 (something not currently included in the article). I hope this helps, all the best. Anotherclown (talk) 23:52, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
