Yes, some Icelanders served with Allied forces during World War II, particularly after Iceland was occupied by British and later American troops in 1940. While the exact number of Icelanders who served is not well-documented, estimates suggest that around 600 Icelandic men volunteered to join the British and American militaries. Their contributions ranged from military service to support roles, reflecting Iceland's strategic importance during the war.
