::Thanks. When you get a chance, of course. As for the Sino-Burmese war casualties, I don't have access to Dai's paper either (although Thant Myint-U's write-up, which I've referenced, relies heavily on Dai's paper.) I thought 70,000 was from Dai per the citation, and it seemed reasonable enough (the third invasion's main army of 30,000 was nearly wiped out; another 20,000 in the fourth invasion. the second invasion force was also wiped out, that's another 20,000. You're already at 70,000.) But I'd rather reference a reliable source. Do you at least remember what Dai's paper quoted? Otherwise, it needs to be explained why 70,000 (or some other number) is a reasonable number as I explained it, or retract it altogether.
