100th British soldier killed in Iraq

A British soldier from the 7th Armoured Brigade was killed by an explosion in southern Iraq this morning, the 100th UK serviceman to die since the invasion in March 2003.

The Ministry of Defence said three other soldiers were hurt, one seriously, in the blast which took place on Tuesday morning in Um Qasr, Basra province.

Do you think that now we hit a nice round number, Tony might remember how many British servicemen have died in Iraq?

Nope. Freedom remember. Plus the upside is we have handed Iraq over to Iran so its not like he died in vain.
