It will take some digging into the Official Records which are available on line;

Here is a report from Col. John B. Gordon

Numbers 260. Report of Colonel John B. Gordon,

Sixth Alabama Infantry, commanding First Brigade, of the battle of Malvern Hill.

. . . I submit herewith a tabular list furnished by each regiment. Owing to their positions in line the Third Alabama suffered most and the Sixth Alabama least. . . .

Command. Killed Wounded Total Carried in action

3rd Alabama 37 163 200 354
