Default Although

Hi! Greetings to all!

Some 2974 victims were killed in the process, ALTHOUGH the exact numbers of people died remained unknown.

Can I use "although" in the above situation?

Thank you,

Default Re: Although

Welcome to the forums.

If you had said "It is believed that xxxx...", then "although" will be fine.

To use both "some" and "although" is tautologous.
