 The UK's military role in Afghanistan since 2001 has brought with it a heavy human toll. Members of the Army, RAF, Royal Marines and special forces have lost their lives in the fight against the Taliban. Here, the BBC News website offers a look at who they were and how they died.

The number of British military deaths stands at 408 after a soldier from from The Queen's Royal Hussars (The Queen's Own and Royal Irish) died on 8 April from injuries sustained in an explosion in Afghanistan on 3 February.
