Responsibility Between 1969 and 2001, 3523 died as a result of the Troubles: 2055 by republican groups 1020 by loyalist groups 368 by British and Irish security forces 80 by groups or persons unknown Status Most of those killed were civilians or members of the security forces, with smaller groups of victims identified with republican and loyalist paramilitary groups. It is often disputed whether some civilians were members of paramilitary organisations due to their secretive nature. An analysis of those killed by status gives: 1857 civilians 1121 members of security forces 394 identified as members of republican groups 151 identified as members of loyalist groups The security force members include: 498 British army personnel 301 Royal Ulster Constabulary officers 197 Ulster Defence Regiment personnel 24 Northern Ireland Prison Service officers 7 Royal Irish Regiment personnel 9 Garda� (police officers in the Republic of Ireland) 6 Territorial Army personnel 6 police officers in England 4 Royal Air Force personnel 3 Royal Navy personnel 1 Irish Army soldier

The last to die on the battlefield, many died in hospital from wounds over the following years. (1921 is the final year to qualify as having died as a casualty of WW1 and so be entitled to a comonwealth war grave.) I also wondered who was the 1st Tommy to Die. 149 RN sailors who died on HMS AMPHION when it was sunk by enemy action at 06:30 on the 6th August 1914, these were the 1st British casualties of WW1 The 1st British soldier, �Tommy� was killed on the 21st August 1914, he was a boy soldier a 16 year old bicycle scout, band boys and bugles of 16 were also common in the British army at this time. In St Symphorien Cemetery Mons, Private John Parr (1898 in Finchley - August 21, 1914) His grave is a few feet from the last British Soldier killed. In St Symphorien Cemetery Mons the grave of George Edwin Ellison 5th Lancers, killed on 11th November 1918 at 9:30 am. He was in the B E F and had served through all the horrors of WW1. (Some accounts inaccurately give his time of death as 10:59) The last commonwealth soldier killed in action was Pvt. George Lawrence Prince, a Canadian, who died in action at 10:58 The last allied soldier killed was an American, Pvt. Henry Gunther, killed charging a machinegun post at 10:59 seconds before everyone watching new the armistice would come into effect. The Germans opened fire only when their own lives were imperilled having tried several times to shout and dissuade the advancing Gunther. The last German to die was killed a few minutes after 11am. Lt. Tomas, was shot by advancing American troops as he tried to inform them that his troops were withdrawing from the billet that they had occupied. The Americans claimed they had not been told the war was over. At 11 am Tomorrow "We Will Remember Them"
