Saya menafsirkan 'terbantai' yg dimaksud dalam teks asal bukan berarti 'benar2 dibantai'.
Yg namanya pertempuran, kedua pihak bersenjata dan saling menyerang.
Sebaliknya, 'pembantaian' bermakna hanya satu pihak saja yg bersenjata dan pihak lain tidak bersenjata.
Dg kata lain, pemilihan kata 'terbantai' hanyalah gaya bahasa hiperbol, gaya bahasa melebih2kan dg tujuan menimbulkan efek tertentu.
Karena itu, saya menyimpulkan
terbantai = killed

Hundreds of our best soldiers have fallen in the battlefield ...
