Website statistics, which one is correct?

Many statistics from the sites below are the same, also correct with what I can find on other websites.
However, the casualties of the divisions are everytime different. Which one is correct. Personally I'd go for the first link. Examples below:

http://www.history.army.mil/documents/E ... ID-ETO.htm - 15,066 / 25,884 casualties

http://www.historyshots.com/usarmy/Division.cfm?did=28 - 16,795 casualties

One just list's the combat casualties, while the other list's non-combat(sickness/accidents) as well.
The first list uses the word "tentative' which is another way of saying they are not completely sure it's the correct figure, so for combat casualties I would go with the second figure of 16,795.
