Losses at Hanover were relatively light in terms of casualties, but the cost in time, in delaying Stuart from linking with Lee, proved to be even more costly. Estimates vary as to the number of men lost at Hanover.
Union losses in one source (Fox) are listed as 19 killed, 73 wounded, and 123 missing for a total of 215.
The 18th PA of course had suffered the most, with 3 men killed, 24 seriously wounded, and 57 missing in action.
