How common were casualties from friendly fire during the war?

i was told here in the uk a general on his horse with both hooves raised means he died on the battlefireld. one hoof means he died later of his wounds from the field. i can see they havent been very fair to poor old jackson on his horse with both hooves down. it seems indignified or done on purpose, raise one hoof at least and restore dignity
