The battle of Helm's Deep: All the Elves were killed? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I believe that the Elven company sent to Helm's Deep did all perish in battle. I think it's just Peter Jackson's way of highlighting the fact that Middle Earth is no longer a dwelling for the Elves and that it is their time of departure. <P>Logically though I think some should have survived. Did anyone notice in the scene where they are retreating to the keep that Legolas and another Elf are dragging a very reluctant Gimli back?
