[edit] Polite language?

"40,000 Allied troops took part during the battle and of these 11,200 (7,000 British, 4,200 Indian) failed to return. " Is the term "failed to return" a euphanism for "were killed" or are the figures inclusive of those captured in battle by the Germans. Should'nt we be more specific.

11,000 is the number of Casualties i.e. killed, wounded or missing. "Failed to return" in this context means failed to turn up for rollcall after the battle.Rcbutcher (talk) 17:11, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
