199 Casualties?

Is there a source for the casualties? This article mentions 199 Commonwealth troops buried there but it is unclear if their deaths can be characterised as part of the occupation or if they died separately in the North Atlantic. The invasion itself left none dead. Harsimaja (talk) 23:14, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
