It's believed that about 1650 people died in the initial explosion but official records list the names of 1950 people killed by the explosion or its aftermath. (In addition to the fires that claimed people trapped in collapsed buildings, many more died of exposure in the blizzard that followed.) However there were several hundred unidentified victims so it is generally accepted that the death toll exceeds 2000 people. More than 9000 were injured, many severely with blindness, loss of limbs, and paralysis common effects.

Is there a list of Halifax 1917 injured?

I assume you are asking for people injured in the Halifax Explosion (6 December 1917) and not people injured in WWI in 1917.There is a ledger at the Nova Scotia Archives that lists those killed (and those who died from their injuries) in the Halifax Explosion. But this does notlist people who were injured but did not die from their wounds.I am not aware of any listing of non-fatal injuries, as it would include many thousands who suffered minor cuts or burns, many of which would not even have received medical treatment.You can search the Remembrance Book at the Archives website: (see Related Links below)
