About July-September 1943?

Casualties were recorded as:

July - 1,181
August - 514
September - 426

They were not differentiated by killed, wounded, missing, and sick in any of the documents I found.

October - 41 KIA, 92 WIA, 72 MIA, 126 Sick, but from fragmentary daily records that only included 14 days of the month
October 10-day reports total - 39 KIA, 66 WIA, 152 MIA, 121 Sick
November - 54 KIA, 74 WIA, 20 MIA, 158 Sick from fragmentary daily records that include data for just 11 days
November 10-day reports total - 81 KIA, 134 WIA, 20 MIA, 347 Sick
December - 110 KIA, 321 WIA, 236 MIA, 161 Sick from fragmentary daily records that include data for 28 days
The only 10-day report was for 1-10 December

The only other report I found was for 21-31 January 1944 - 61 KIA, 166 WIA. 4 MIA, 75 Sick
