How many of Helaman's band of stripling soldiers died in battle?


None

(Even though all 2060 were wounded, 200 fainted because of loss of blood, and 1000 regular non-stripling soldiers were killed.
And it came to pass that there were two hundred, out of my two thousand and sixty, who had fainted because of the loss of blood; nevertheless, according to the goodness of God, and to our great astonishment, and also the joy of our whole army, there was not one soul of them who did perish; yea, and neither was there one soul among them who had not received many wounds.
And now, their preservation was astonishing to our whole army, yea, that they should be spared while there was a thousand of our brethren who were slain. Alma 57:25
