Not sure I understand the main example's useage here...

Total burials 2463, of which 430 are unnamed Unknown burials 2

How does one say 2, and the other says 430? Aren't they measuring the number of unknowns? Sherurcij ^{(Speaker for the Dead)} 15:08, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

• Different levels of "unknown". The 430 are unnamed - who they are/were is not known, although other information (nationality, rank, unit, other - for want of a better word - fragments). The 2 are unknown unknowns. They're assumed to be soldiers, but the nationality or any other information is completely lost. They might not even be soldiers, but they are being treated as soldiers, having been found on a battlefield. ➨ ЯEDVERS 15:14, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
