===Roll of Honour===

The 10th Battalion World War One casualty list has been compiled using the publication ''[[Soldiers Died in the Great War 1914-19:, Volume 39, The Border Regiment]]'' and cross-referenced with the ''[[Commonwealth War Graves Commission]]'' database. The number of casualties compiled to date does not necessarily reflect the total number of casualties for this battalion due to the possibility of missed names and the (current) exclusion of officers and other ranks that were attached to the Border Regiment. Please note there are only five casualties in this list.
