only 1913 and that this division suf-
fered less than some other divisions.
Why was II not frank in saying that
this division lost practically all OF
these 1873 in one engament. while 9th

the 35th, were in several heavy en-
gagemeuts2 Why did the department
neglect to mention that in addition
to these 1913, more than 5000 wounded
