On Sunday morning, an as yet un-named Royal Marine died of his injuries in a Birmingham hospital. His death brings the total of service people killed while serving their country in Afghanstan to 300.
Bear in mind we only have a total of all in the full time Armed Services of less than 200,000 people. There are currently about 95000 deployed in Afghanistan.
