[edit] Information about the ambush.

According to www.icasualties.org there where 34 killed in Nasiriyah during the series of ambushes. There are many problems with the dates too. Now, to make things worse there are some Army casualties with different death causes from the defence link claims.

Please if you have any new info about it, because i know this is a polemical chapter of the war (Because of Jessica Lynch and .etc) write your links here and i will try to share them with the info i have , for the good of the article. Miguel

There was inaccurate information stating that HM3 Vann Johnson was the final casualty in the Battle of Nasiriyah. Vann Johnson was killed along Highway 1 in the same battle that Brian Chontosh was awarded the Navy Cross for.

[edit] Australia was involved

My Uncle who was an Australian Soldier did fight in this battle plus 18 other Australian forces.

I know your right because my Wife is in the Australian army (she`s Australian but Im Filipino) and she is in Iraq and she did fight in the Battle of Nasiriyah. She even got hit in the leg.

Ok, find a citation that Australian forces were in Nasiriyah in late March 2003, and we'll keep the addition. Otherwise, it's just another unsourced edit that should be removed. Lawrencema (talk) 03:19, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
