MOD: Reports that on this Remembrance Sunday a Soldier was killed today in Afghanistan, the Soldier was from the “ 1st Battalion The Royal Irish Regiment ”. Thus since 2001 the UK has lost 344 of its Armed Forces Personnel in Afghanistan, of that total it has lost 303 in combat operations and 41 due to illness, accidents or other incidents. The latest accident victim was named as “ Senior Aircraftman Scott 'Scotty' Hughes, serving with Number 1 Squadron Royal Air Force Regiment ” who had just returned from Afghanistan. Our thoughts are with the family of Senior Aircraftman Hughes.
