↑ Miller, p. 220. This number includes all US military forces on Guadalcanal, not necessarily the number directly involved in the battle.
↑ Miller, p. 215; Frank, p. 497. Miller says that there were 25,000 Japanese troops on the island at this time, but Frank goes into more detail on the Japanese troop strength, stating "A (Japanese) strength return dated 20 November (1942) showed that of the 29,117 soldiers landed since 7 August, the deduction of those killed, evacuated, or hospitalized because of wounds or illness left only 18,295 still with their units. Of this latter total, those fit by liberal definition for combat duty numbered only 12,775. The survivors of the original garrison (including construction workers) and the Imperial Navy units landed since 7 August added another 2,376 to the aggregate unit strength, but only 550 to the rolls of those fit for combat."
↑ Exact American losses for each action in the battle are not recorded. Miller, pp. 244, 249–252, 270, 276–278; Frank, pp. 533–534, 555–558, 566–567; Anderson. Anderson states that 200 total were killed, but adding up the known casualties from each action arrives at a number closer to 250.
↑ An unknown number, but probably in the thousands more Japanese soldiers throughout Guadalcanal died during this time from starvation and tropical disease but this is the approximate number killed by direct American action during this battle. Miller, pp. 244, 249–252, 270, 275–279; Frank, pp. 533–534, 555–558, 562–563, 566–567.
