How many Japanese soldiers did British soldiers kill?
British forces consistently played a secondary but significant role to American forces in the strangling of Japan's trade. The earliest successes were gained by mine laying. The Japanese minesweeping capability was never great, and when confronted with new types of mines they did not adapt quickly. Japanese shipping was driven from the Burmese coast using this type of warfare.
British submarines also operated against Japanese shipping, although later in the war. They were based in Ceylon, Fremantle, Western Australia and finally the Philippines.
A major success was the sinking of several Japanese cruisers.Dunno….ships crew of a Japanese cruiser X several…

Navy guys, especially British one's, aren't really soldiers.
So, zero?

OKAY…FOR THE FUCKING RECORD IT'S BRITAIN…ENGLAND WAS NOT AT WAR WITH GERMANY. IT WAS FUCKING BRITAIN, WHICH CONSISTS OF ENGLAND, SCOTLAND WALES AND NORTHERN IRELAND. FOR THE LOVE OF FUCKING GOD DON'T THEY EVEN TEACH YOU THAT IN SCHOOL IN THIS COUNTRY. Saying England was at war with Germany is like saying North Carolina invaded Iraq

How could I forget to include the Hessians? Silly me.
So basically it was the French mercenaries supported by Spain, Netherlands and France at war with Americans loyal to the crown, slaves who were freed by the British and Germans, with the British navy happily bobbing about on the Atlantic shipping in your women on liberty boats to keep the crew from getting bored.
At least some things never change eh???

Over the course of the war, Great Britain signed treaties with various German states, which supplied about 30,000 soldiers. Germans made up about one-third of the British troop strength in North America. Hesse-Kassel contributed more soldiers than any other state, and German soldiers became known as "Hessians" to the Americans. Revolutionary speakers called German soldiers "foreign mercenaries," and they are scorned as such in the Declaration of Independence. By 1779, the number of British and German troops stationed in North America was over 60,000, although these were spread from Canada to Florida.[17] About 10,000 Loyalist Americans under arms for the British are included in these figures.[18]

this of course omits to mention malvinas..in any case england has a long history of using foreign mercenaries it pays to fight its wars:
History of Gurkhas
Gurkhas are the part of British army. ?Better to die than be a coward? is the motto of Nepalese Gurkha soldiers. They use to carry traditional weapon an 18 inch long curved knife known as kukri during battle. During past it was said that once a kukri was drawn out in battle it had to taste blood if not its owner had to cut himself before putting it to its sheath. Now the gurkhas say that it is used mainly for cooking.
Gurkhas have loyally fought for the British all over the world receiving 13 Victoria crosses between them. In the two world wars more than 200,000 fought and in the past 50 years they have served Hong Kong, Malaysia, Borneo, Cyprus, Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan. During the two world wars 43000 men lost their lives.
Four ethnic groups Gurungs and Magars from central Nepal and rais and Limbus from the east who live in the village of improvised hills farmers have always dominated the ranks. They also follow Nepalese customs and beliefs, brigades follows religious festivals such as Dashain, in which goats and buffalos are sacrificed. The numbers of gorkhali have been sharply reduced from World War II peak of 112,000 men now stands at about 3500.
The soldiers are still selected from young men living in the hills of Nepal with about 28000 youth tackling the selection procedure for just over 200 places each year. The selection of soldier process has been described as one of the toughest in the world and is fiercely contested. During selection process, young people have to run uphill for 40 minutes carrying a basket on their back, which is filled with rocks weighting 70IBS.
Historically Gurkhas who have served their time in the army for a maximum of 30 years and minimum of 15 years to secure a pension were discharged back to Nepal. All retired Gurkha won the right to live in Uk, following high profile campaign. Gurkha veterans have also continued to fight for the equal pension with the soldiers they have served alongside. In 2007 they won a partial victory when the pension rules were changed to give equal pension right with other service personnel in the UK.
