Casualties
editWhere is the figure from stating 126 Allied forces died in Basra? The British lost around 50 in the entire year of 2003, many of which were not due to battle, but mechanical failure, friendly fire, accidents, 'natural causes' (i.e illness etc.) or even suicide. And considering the British forces were the vast majority in Basra, I'd be shocked if there were more than 10-20 killed in Basra.

Here's a list of casualties in the Iraq war for Britain.
Can anyone sort out this out? And most importantly, RIP to all those that passed.86.5.160.43 (talk) 16:40, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
