Immigrants have also died for the UK in Iraq eg. Donal Meade, originally from Montserrat: http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,,1564239,00.html

Monserrat is actually British and his name would probably make him of Irish ancestry
He was Montserrat born and chose to come here when the volcanoe erupted. And then chose to go into the UK army. It was an honour all round for us to have him. Not sure what the defiition of an immigrant is otherwise. If I went to Australia (if they let me in) I would be an immigrant from England ... And I've have to learn the language too :wink:
Does it matter what Mr Meades ancestry was? One of my lot was Italian - so what? Gonna send me back there or lock me up on the Isle of Man if hostilities are declared? Apparently, I might even get be eligible to claim Italian citizenship, if I can get the documentation together - whoppee!!!! When can I go? 8)
