British Soldiers
How many British soldiers did the IRA kill during the troubles of the North?
I saw on the news yesterday that full demobilization of the British army is complete and the news gave a short summary of the worst attacks. But how many overall were killed?
According to the CAIN research project at the University of Ulster, [84] the Provisional IRA was responsible for the deaths of 1,821 people during the Troubles up to 2001. This figure represents 48.4 percent of the total fatalities in the conflict.
621 of these casualties were civilians.
A total of 655 were British armed forces; 465 from the British Army, 190 were from the Ulster Defence Regiment (a part time local British Army reserve unit).
272 were members of the Royal Ulster Constabulary, 14 were former Royal Ulster Constabulary members, six were British Police, 20 were Northern Ireland Prison Service officers, two were former prison officers.
A further 35 were loyalist paramilitaries (21 Ulster Defence Association (UDA), three former UDA, 11 Ulster Volunteer Force).
Six were Gardai and one was Irish Army.
About 180 were republican paramilitaries, including 12 Official IRA members, one Irish People's Liberation Organisation member, 63 alleged informers and 103 accidental deaths of Provisional IRA members due to premature explosions.
CAIN calculates that of 1706 victims, 340 were Northern Irish Catholics, 794 were Northern Irish Protestants and 572 were not from Northern Ireland.[citation needed]
Another detailed study,[85] gives the following figures for people killed by the Provisional IRA up to 2004:
644 civilians,
456 British military (including British Army, RAF, Royal Navy, and Territorial Army), 273 Royal Ulster Constabulary (including RUC reserve), 182 Ulster Defence Regiment,
163 Republican paramilitary members (including from the IRA),
28 loyalist paramilitary members, 23 Northern Ireland Prison Service officers, 7 Gardai or Irish Army, and five British police officers (Lost Lives, page 1536).
Lost Lives therefore concludes that the Provisional IRA was responsible for a total of 1,781 deaths to date. It has also been estimated that the IRA injured 6,000 British Army, UDR and RUC and up to 14,000 civilians, during the Troubles.[86]

British Soldiers - Helmand Battle
During the Revolutionary War, were captured British soldiers given access to American courts?
Just curious about this. Were British soldiers during the war given American lawyers and brought into court to face a judge? I'm sure the Founding Fathers believed that the Constitution and Bill of Rights applied to everyone, including our enemies, right?
cletus, that was before American independence and before war was declared though. See the difference? The US was still part of Britain at that time.
Unfortunately not in every case were British or Loyalist soldiers treated as prisoners of war. There were a number of occasions where unarmed redcoats that had surrendered were summarily executed (once or twice one might even say butchered) at the hands of colonial militia.
In the case of the "Boston Massacre", John Adams did defend the British soldiers involved, mainly because he - and most of the inhabitants of Boston and other parts of New England - believed that they were not guilty of any wrongdoing; to which a jury heartily agreed (much to the consternation of John's cousin, Sam Adams, who was hoping to use a guilty verdict to instigate an uprising. He never forgave John.)
Those that suffered the most were the Loyalists or, on occasion, those that refused to take a side. After the war they were accused of treachery; had their feet nailed to wooden planks, noses or ears sliced, were feathered and tarred, had livestock slaughtered, homes burnt, wives and daughters raped in front of them and forced off their land. All of which took place without any form of legal backing.
"Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" was not available to these men, all of whom fled to Canada with their families.
