Answer 2

The US lost approximately 30 US Sailors (USS Stark) during the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988) while patrolling the Persian Gulf; other than possible operational air losses, no other allied nations lost any personnel. ________________________________________________________________ Obviously there is some confusion here regarding two wars fought at separate times in the same part of the world. The attack on the USN frigate occurred in 1987 during the Iran-Iraq War. In the Gulf War to which the question pertains, Australia sent about 1800 defensive troops to protect Suadi Arabia during Operation Desert Shield. As they did not participate in the offensive phase, Operation Desert Storm, casualties may be presumed to be light if any. However, many Australians have died in both World Wars, the Boer War, Korea, Malaysia, and Vietnam. The Battle of Khafji was the only battle during Desert Shield, and it occurred in the sector defended by the Saudis and Qataris. Had the Australian sector been attacked, they would certainly have done their part and taken their casualties.
There were three gulf wars in the 20th & 21st centuries: 1. Iran-Iraq War 1980-1988 2. Operation Desert Storm Jan/Feb '91 3. Operation Iraqi Freedom 2003-

Answer 3

Australian casualties were 339 killed, 1216 wounded and 29 prisoners of war.

No Australian soldiers have died in actual combat in Iraq. Reason being they are intentionally kept out of the hot spots.
