Although
Canadian troops arrived in
Korea in December 1950,
they initially underwent extensive training and did not
see action until February 1951.
The
following casualty lists were Department of National Defence
press releases for the media.
It should be noted there is a time lapse between
the actual dates of casualties and the dates indicated
in the press releases.
For example, Casualty List No. 1 is dated 2 March 1951 . However,
Privates Andersen, Brown, Colbourne, MacKay and O'Brien
were killed in action on
23 February 1951 .
Deaths from accidents
and other causes were not listed in Official Casualty
Lists prior to
2 March 1951 , although they were after that
date.

the following lists include:

Initially, personnel
unit affiliation was not included in the lists; it commenced
with Casualty List No. 46, although some were identified by
corps, such as the Royal Canadian Infantry Corps (RC IC), rather
than by battalion and regiment.
A few of the
lists are missing numerically.
Hopefully, further research will fill the gaps.
Casualties in
the Royal Canadian Navy are listed following the Canadian Army
casualty lists.
