Remembering the 456 British forces personnel who lost their lives in Afghanistan

The UK government has sent a further 200 troops to the city of Kabul to evacuate British citizens and local allies from Afghanistan.

The deployment of armed services personnel to the country comes after the Taliban seized control of the capital city on Sunday (15 August) evening, with thousands of residents and foreign nationals now desperately trying to escape.

British troops are in a race against the clock following the dramatic fall of the western-backed government and it is feared that there are many people who “won’t get back”, Defence Secretary Ben Wallace, who served in the Scots Guards, said on Tuesday.

Remembering the victims

UK forces were sent to Afghanistan in support of the UN-authorised, NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) mission and as part of the US-led Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF).

Figures show that as of 23 July 2015, a total of 454 British forces personnel or MOD civilians have died while serving in the country since operations began in October 2001. Major combat operations ended in the country at the end of 2014.

Of these fatalities, 405 were killed as a result of hostile actions, while 49 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.

Following a helicopter crash on 11 October 2015, two further UK personnel have died while serving in Afghanistan, taking the total number of military deaths to 456.
