Hi! Sig..Here, a poignant reminder that Iceland was not immune from the hostilities of WWII..I know the Brits had troops stationed here and tens of thousands of US forces too>

A nice tribute Sig...

Thank you Jim and Lidia.

Jim.

It has been estimated that Iceland lost around
0.2% of its population in the WW2.

Most of them were lost at sea, shot down by planes and submarines while importing goods to Iceland and bringing food to the allied nations.

For the WW2 - I have seen numbers like:

Iceland lost 0.2% of its population

Norway 0,34%

USA 0,2%

Canada 0,4%

UK 0,7%

France 1,5%
