[486] Based on compilation on 15 March 1951 by Casualty
Reporting Officer.

[487] Based on G-2 Report included in the Special Action
Report for the Inchon-Seoul Campaign. The figures
shown are less than the total of regimental reports of
captures, as only those POWs remaining after processing
by the G-2 were counted. Oftentimes civilians were
turned over to the G-2 as POWs. A lag is also reflected
in the figures of the G-2 Section. Both regiments
captured prisoners on D-Day, 15 September, but the
prisoners were not processed until 16 September.

[488] Estimated enemy casualties do not include POWs. Figures
shown are based on the G-2 Report included in the
Special Action Report for the Inchon-Seoul Campaign.

[489] The figure shown for 16 September includes the
casualties inflicted on the enemy on 15 September.
