United Kingdom annual armed forces operational deaths post 1945-2019

United Kingdom (UK) annual armed forces operational deaths post World War II 1945 to 2019

United Kingdom annual armed forces operational deaths post 1945-2019 This statistic displays the annual number of United Kingdom (UK) armed forces deaths that have occurred on operation from 1945 until 2019. The most deadly year for British Armed forces was in 1951, with 851 deaths. This was due to three separate conflicts: the Malayan Emergency, the 1951 Anglo-Egyptian War and the Korean War. Between 1959 and 2009 there were only three years that had more than 100 operational deaths: 1972, 1973 and 1982. The spike in deaths in the early 1970s were the result of the political violence in Northern Ireland at the time, and 237 of the 297 deaths in 1982 happened during the Falklands War. Over this 74 year period there have been a total of 7,187 British military deaths in conflicts.
