Our own studies relevant to the suicide rate among veterans of the UK Armed Forces looked at deaths that occurred among veterans of the 1990/91 Gulf and veterans of the 1982 Falklands campaign.

The Ministry of Defence also provides support through its Departments of Community Mental Health, and the Veterans and Reserves Mental Health Programme.
