more died afterwards in this way than during the war
Dave,
I've heard that stated for many years now.
Is that a fact that can be backed up or an urban myth?
Who has been keeping records?
Very sad fact if true.
Makes me wonder what suicide rates are like in Veterans from any war.

EDIT Ok more about actuals numbers here. BBC News | UK | Falkland veterans claim suicide toll and the other side. BBC NEWS | Americas | Argentina's forgotten war vets

I clicked on the red cross and right clicked it.
Up came a box, clicked on Properties.
Saw image code then found your Photobucket account & posted the IMG code from there.
hope you don't mind.
