Also according to Michael Embree's Radetzky's Marches: The Campaigns of 1848 and 1849 in Upper Italy, there were also large numbers of stragglers (approximately 20,000) for the Piedmontese side after total of 9 hours fighting in Novara. Although many of them did return, those who didn't after commited riots, missing and captured, and in addition the dead soldiers buried by the opponent were not counted, as the difficulties of counting the loss of a defeated army were stressed in Relazioni e rapporti 1849, pp.648-649. As to the wounded, the Piedmontese Military Sanitary Corps initially reported attending over 2500 on the battlefield, however this figure was subsequently altered to 3008. La Masson put the total Piedmontese losses as 4000 wounded and killed with 2000 either missing or captured. As for the Austrian side, Michael Embree noted that many of the missing numbers as given by Hilleprandt "1849" P. 268, including one officer and 876 NCOs and men could have been taken prisoners as D'Aspre's II Corps sustained considerable casualties in first 5 hours of intense fight until reinforcement of III corps arrived after 15:00 that day. Also the number of dead for the Austrian side ranged from 410 to 797 (Embree checked Viviani's consideration in this regard).

Michael Embree's book should be used

According to Michael Embree's Radetzky's Marches: The Campaigns of 1848 and 1849 in Upper Italy, the wounded being rescued by Piedmont Sanitory Corps from the battle were initially 2500 and later revisied to 3008 being admitted to hospitals after the battle (Austrian about 1800), and the losses for the losing side are very difficult to calculate. In addition, his book has taken from many and varied sources, including a considerable number of contemporary and first-hand accounts, as well official reports from all sides. 2604:3D09:D07F:E580:0:0:0:766E (talk) 14:33, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
