Egypt and casualties
There are some pretty good studies on how many troops went out with Napoleon's expedition to Egypt. There were very few reinforcements. Are there any recent studies on how many troops survived and came back? Can anyone help point me to a study which calculates the casualties of that 1798 to 1801 adventure. Thanks.

Thanks Kevin. It seems to me that some 600 reinforcements made it, more or less. Then, on the negative side, I think we have to deduct the local auxiliaries from the total returning, and also prisoners of war who were sent back by the British (the camel troops), and I think that quite a few ships brought back the sick and the blind. It is an interesting topic, so I shall dig a bit further.
