Death in Afghanistan

MOD: Reports that a British soldier has died of his wounds in the UK after being in combat operations in Afghanistan. The soldier was from the " 2nd Royal Tank Regiment ". Thus since 2001 the UK has lost 215 of its Armed Forces Personnel in Afghanistan, of that total it has lost 184 in combat and 31 due to illness, accidents or other incidents. Thus with this death the UK has lost five soldiers in September, it is still less than July and August, lets hope we don't match those deadly months. Our thoughts are with the families of all those killed in Afghanistan.
