These are the 457 British troops who died in Afghanistan — Trump’s claims cannot rewrite their sacrifice

They are remembered not as a statistic, but as 457 lives cut short on the front lines of Afghanistan. These are the faces of those who paid the ultimate price. For more than a decade, British soldiers served and fought alongside Nato allies , facing daily danger during the conflict — facts that cannot be rewritten or erased.The sacrifice of those who never returned has been thrust back into focus after Donald Trump claimed allied forces “stayed a little off the front lines” on Thursday (22 January).
