Casualties of War
Statistics
The following statistics were obtained from official sources, and it can be seen from these stats, that the Suez Canal Zone was not a healthy place to be in during the years 1951-1954. It shows that the case for a medal is just. We would like to thank Ex Royal Marine James Robinson for the following stats on the casualties in all of Britain's Small Wars in the latter half of the 20th Century. This seems to be the official count.
