Those flagged as "Died" are also listed with all that I know who died in Columbia as deaths so I have listed them twice, once in state they served from and once as a group. I feel sure there were far more deaths amongst the POW's. I have seen estimates of 40+ disease deaths of prison guards and know 4 for sure.
