Dec 30 (Reuters) - Three U.S. marines died on Thursday from wounds suffered in combat in Iraq's western Anbar province, the U.S. military said.

Following are the latest figures for military deaths in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003:

U.S.-LED COALITION FORCES:

United States 2,994

Britain 127

Other nations 123

IRAQIS:

Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#

Civilians Between 52,060 and 57,628*

# = Think-tank estimates for military under Saddam Hussein killed during the 2003 war. No reliable official figures have been issued since new security forces were set up in late 2003.

* = From www.iraqbodycount.net (IBC), run by academics and peace activists, based on reports from at least two media sources. The IBC says on its Web site that the figure underestimates the true number of casualties.
