It's estmated that around 170,000 soldiers were present at the Gettysburg battle, though not all participated. Some soldiers were needed to guard supply trains and artillery reserves on both sides, but the Union could spare more men to do so than the Confederacy simply because they had more men. However, most of those men, better yet almost all of them at some point exchanged fire. Since around 8000 est. were killed outright on the field and another 7 to 10,000 died of wounds, disease, etc within 2 to 3 weeks its safe to say that 15 to 18000 men died as a direct result of the battle. An estimated 35,000 men received some sort of wound from either artillery or small arms fire (not including captured or missing that may have been wounded which amounted to a little over 10,000). So we can guesstimate that there were around 53000 casulaties (including those missing that were either captured or simply ceased to exist because of direct artillery fire). If we assume that maybe 168000 men out the 170,000 participated, then around 115,000 "survived" per say. Records were not kept as well then as they are now so the numbers could vary, but only slightly.
