How many Canadians died veit nam?

Answer 1

The Canadian Viet Nam Veterans memorial in Windsor Ontario has 105 names in it, BUT many more Canadians were killed in American uniforms in that time period. The US accepted volunteers from Canada gladly, BUT they had to put a US " Hometown " on their applications so the numbers could be hidden. Many of those Canadians were buried as " Americans " in US Military cemmetaries.

So yes a number of Candians were KIA in Viet Nam, but their exact numbers are hard to estimate. The best guess is about 500 to 1,000. The names on the memorial in Canada are those who have been "proven " to have been born in Canada. There are many more that are buried, both in the ground and in the US military records system.

^you spelled it wrong. It's Vietnam, all one word.

Answer 2

Around 110,891 since from 1867-2008. That's estimated Kia, MIA, and died of wounds; but doesn't count accidental or disease deaths though.

World War 1 was by and far the most destructive war in Canadian history. 66,050 were killed in the conflict in a period of time in which the Canadian population was less than 1/4 of what it is today.

Answer 3

120 foreign born US servicemen were killed in the Viet War. Canada itself wasn't in the war but many of Canada's men volunteered for US military service to fight in Vietnam. Any killed Canadians would be in that 120 figure.

Answer 4

Canada stayed out of the war. Approximately 120 foreigners serving in the US military died in VN, some of those men no doubt were Canadians.
