I was looking for information about causualties in Iraq, and I had a little trouble finding the thread in which a few helpful members had posted some great links on the subject. Since the WWIN links database is down I decided to create a thread here that had some of the better links available. All non-WWII military sites are fair game, please post suggestions if you like, and I'll edit post # 2 in this thread with the new links as I get them. Also, please inform me of dead/broken links, as sometime websites move pages around.

Sorry Historian I know it's been a *while* since you posted, but I just wanted to respond to why I haven't added these links to my link list.

I'm not a big fan of ring sites, as I never know what kind of links they have, some are downright ridiculous. As well, I didn't want to include any commercial sites (the militaria one) either. My though was to have just a few non-WWII related military links with lots of impirical info there.

I added another couple useful links too...

Hi Otto, I found a great list on casualties sometime ago in the strangest of places. I was on the official White Star Line website - looking up info about the Titanic and stumbled across a link posted I think on thier site, on on a link that I entered on their site only to go to that other sites links page. Anyway, if I can remember to go check their site out again, i'll see if I can find it and post it here.

War of 1812 (personal note - as with most wars there are two viewpoints: the Canadians thought they won, and the Americans thought they did. Either way, aside from the Fenian Raids 1866-1870 its been been nearly 200 years since our countries met against each other in armed conflict. That, sadly, can't be said of the relations between many sovereign countries.)
