WASHINGTON—Members of the British Parliament met their American ‘counterparts last week to discuss common approaches to the illnesses afflicting military personnel from both countries who served in the Persian Gulf War.
“There are cases that are quite similar,” said Alfred Morris of the Labor Party about the variety of illnesses that have come to be as Gulf War Syndrome.
Morris said some 500 of the 52,000 British military personnel who served in the gulf have since come down with disabling discuses. In the United States, thousands of the 700,000 veterans of the war have complained of such problems.
