It was more of a "fight" than the Brits just mopping things up. They had their hands full.

ehh 3/1 kill ratio and 2/1 wounded is pretty lopsided unless you are the Russians in WWII. Their Military made a frick ton of changes after that. But those types of numbers would be expected by the Brits when you make an amphibious assault, once they got on the island it was pretty much game over. Casualty numbers don't tell the whole story. The amount of POW's clearly shows they took on a much larger force and kicked their arse.
