What British units were sent to Iraq? And which ones have seen combat? Just curious as this hasn't been covered by the American media.

Peter,
I don't have a definitive order of battle, hopefully somebody does. One I'm sure of is 1st Battalion Black Watch were certainly there and saw some heavy action in and around Basra. One member of the battalion was KIA taking the city and several more wounded. I am unsure whether they suffered any more casualties before they were rotated out.
Cheers,

Here is the MOD site on Operation Telic showing which units are there
