Soldier from the Royal Logistic Corps killed in Afghanistan
Always and Forever
The MOD has the sad news of the death of a soldier in Afghanistan.
It is with great sadness that the Ministry of Defence must confirm the death of a soldier from the Royal Logistic Corps.
The soldier was killed as a result of an explosion that happened near Sangin, in central Helmand Province, during the afternoon of 31 October 2009.
Spokesman for Task Force Helmand, Lieutenant Colonel David Wakefield OBE, said:
“It is with great sadness I confirm that a soldier from the Royal Logistic Corps died earlier today in an explosion in Helmand Province. He will be missed by us, his comrades, but he will not be forgotten.”
Next of kin have been informed and have asked for a period of grace before further details are released.
My thoughts are with hos family and friends at this sad time.
