Casualty Lists - an index

Recommended Posts

It's been a couple of months since the last version of the index was published so it seems time for a new one.  It adds a further 103 entries so we now have 11,275 lists on the index.

Just a couple of amendments since the last version: 

ID              Change made

5310.1        Added new entry
5353          Corrected list number (from 23966 to 23956)
5415          Corrected date (from 1917 03 13 to 1917 07 23)
5342          Corrected list number (from 16643 to 15643).

I've found copies of the Admission & Discharge forms W 3034 & A36 used by FAs, CCSs & Hospitals. I've added them to the Army Forms Scans topic.

I also added a copy of a B103 to demontrate how they were used/quoted. I now think I'm not so sure as the B103 seems to quote the form but I can't see how a copy of a A36 or W3034 was copied to each Record Office. Surely we would have some surviving scrap recycled copies? As far as I know the H, HA HB, C etc. type lists were the ones circulated to Records Offices.

Regarding the ICRC images. I've discovered the hi-res versions can be downloaded as a batch using Downthemall.

What I don't understand at present is the ICRC file/folder structure and how to find other batches.

The main topic has two links to 151 images on the page starting with R53081 and 204 images on the page starting R51812.

https://grandeguerre.icrc.org/en/List/3211305/699/53081/
https://grandeguerre.icrc.org/en/List/5037990/699/51812/

The URLS are; /List/3211305/699/53081/ and /List/5037990/699/51812/

It's the bits in bold that have me stumped, I know it's their structuring system but without access to each page I can only access the two pages already linked to.

I've also tried adjusting the 53081

If you did want to 'downthemall' for the two links so far the download line would be:

https://media.grandeguerre.icrc.org/full-resolution/C/G1/E/01/03/C_G1_E_01_03_0018/C_G1_E_01_03_0018_[0001:0151].JPG

https://media.grandeguerre.icrc.org/full-resolution/C/G1/E/01/03/C_G1_E_01_03_0010/C_G1_E_01_03_0010_[0001:0204].JPG

Thank you TEW.  That is interesting.

I believe a key reason that images of the known lists have not been published on the forum is due to copyright concerns.  For lists found on the big subscription sites, the casualty lists are just a tiny fraction of their overall holdings.  But the picture for the ICRC site is less clear hence erring on the side of caution and not publishing the images.  Your point about the difficulty in understanding their structuring system adds to that sense of uncertainty, but I wondered if, in your research into the site, you have come to any thoughts as to how extensive the site may be and therefore whether the lists we have from it are likely to constitute a large or small percentage of the total?

David,

I'm sort of making plans as to the best approach in seeing what their archives hold. It'll have to be filed in the work in progress folder for me. I will report back.

With apologies for the gap in updating the index since last August - here is the latest version.  It adds a further 77 new entries so, taking into account the 2 deletions below, we now have 11,350 lists on the index.

As mentioned, just a couple of amendments since the last version: 

ID            Change made

5484        Corrected list number (from H.A.23457 to H.A.23437)
5724        Deleted.  Duplicate of 5534.
7371        Deleted.  Duplicate of 5607.
