Question about Iraq & US/UK Casualities

I know that the US had a very small number of combat-related deaths in this latest invasion of Iraq, and had a larger number of fatal accidents. Currently, there is about one combat death a day (it's somewhat less actually, but I cannot find the numbers just now) and lethal accidents (like the lates where someone fell asleep while driving and went off a bridge and drowned).

Something I do not recall ever seeing is any record of British casualities. I'm reasonably sure that there were some; Brits, rumors to the contrary, do not walk on water and do get killed in warzones. :rolleyes:
What have the human costs, thus far, been for the British Army? I'm sure this data is out there, but I just don't seem to be able to find it. Anyone have better luck than me?

I know we like to lampoon Britain's domestic policies vis-a-vi RKBA, but we int he US should be grateful that we have such a stalwart ally as the UK in this dangerous world. [And don't forget the Aussies and Canucks too!]

The US releases figures on the wounded:

Anyone have a link for Allied wounded? (BTW, the killed/wounded ratios look low in this war; body armor must be letting a lot more people survive as amputees).
