Source 	Casualties	Remarks
Dyer 	
* 10 Officers and 271 enlisted men killed and mortally wounded 
* 143 enlisted men killed by disease
* Total 424	None
Fox 	
* 10 Officers and 271 enlisted men killed and mortally wounded
* Total 281Originally listed in Fox's chart as 282 - one number is inaccurate somewhere (Combat Losses)
* 17.2% Casualty Rate (238 Killed/1203 Enrolled)
* Fox lists this unit as:
** 3rd on the list of units "sustaining greatest loss in action" (Infantry units with over 200 casualties)
*** Fox also notes that adjustment of War Department Rolls shows this unit as 1st in this category
** 6th on the list of units with losses based on "maximum percentage of enrollment" 
** 7th on the list of units with losses based on duration of the entire term of service of the unit (2nd of the Wisconsin troops)	
"The [third] regiment on the list is the Seventh Wisconsin Infantry, of the famous Iron Brigade, Wadsworth's (First) Division, First Corps. This gallant regiment stands high in the list, because of its many battles and the persistency with which it would hold its ground in the face of the deadliest musketry. By glancing at the table of percentages, it will be seen that the Seventh occupies an honorable place in that list also."
