Figures for "Rural Districts" were caculated by subtracting the original prefecture totals on the "Casualty Figures by City" chart
from the totals in the "Casualties by Prefecture" chart of the original document (太平洋戦争による我国の被害総合報告書).
Prefectural totals in the above chart have been altered to reflect these rural figures.
