The UK Ministry of Defence factsheet page for operations in Afghanistan with a list of fatalities.
It is with very deep regret that the Ministry of Defence has confirmed the following fatalities suffered during operations in Afghanistan.
As at 27 July 2009, a total of 191 British Forces personnel or MOD civilians have died while serving in Afghanistan since the start of operations in October 2001.
Of these, 160 were killed as a result of hostile action.
31 are known to have died either as a result of illness, non-combat injuries or accidents, or have not yet officially been assigned a cause of death pending the outcome of an investigation. The balance of these figures may change as inquests are concluded.
