    [ r54 ] CHAPTER XXIV.. Annual Tables of the Deaths in the 2Qtb Regiment. *■- 4 V •' V ' ‘ IH AV E, in chapter the firft, mentioned that the flank companies were detached in June 1776, and never after joined us* ; what number of men they loft I cannot ex- actly ftate, as fome died under the care of the furgeons of the flank battalions, and fome were fent to us. From the books of the regiment it appears we loft twenty-five men from the ten companies. In 1777, feveral of our men died in the general hofpital, and a few in ours; moftly cafes of dyfentery and confumption. In the following yeais (excepting the year 1787, for which I have no return) every fatal cafe is particularly accounted for. * Part I* chap. i. page 5.
