48,615 records with a known death date, grouped by named conflict period. The Rhodesian Bush War and the SA Border War overlap from 1966 to 1980, so a date alone cannot separate them: a death counts as Rhodesian when the Force is RSF or BSAP, and as Border War otherwise. Explore the Roll applies the same rule and lets you combine these periods with a force, a cause or a single year.
