Those figures are in the Regimental history, and are taken from the battalion war diary; they were compiled just a few days after the battle, as such figures are.

Final fatalities for the battalion were [my figures from Soldiers Died in GW etc.]: 1 officer and 119 ORs killed 16th-17th June 1915, and a trickle of another dozen or so ORs who died of wounds during July and August, many of whom probably came from this action.
