16 men missing

At the end of 26th August: 16 men were reported missing. Should I tag these as casualties? Probably they were just lost?

Yes, tag them as missing with the Casualties tag. They might well be just lost, as the situation was chaotic at this point, but until they were accounted for they were considered to be missing.

So far as the British Army was concerned a casualty was anyone who did not answer their name at the next roll call, so yes missing come under casualties.
