Of the approximately 1,300 men Braddock led into battle,[1] 456 were killed outright and 422 were wounded. Commissioned officers were prime targets and suffered greatly: out of 86 officers, 26 were killed and 37 wounded. Of the 50 or so women that accompanied the British column as maids and cooks, only 4 returned with the British; about half were taken as captives. The French and Canadians reported only 23 killed, including the French commander, and 20 wounded.[22]: 235–236  Braddock died of his wounds on July 13, four days after the battle, and was buried on the road near Fort Necessity.
