It is with great sadness that the Ministry of Defence must confirm that a soldier from 1st Battalion Coldstream Guards, attached to 1st Battalion Welsh Guards, was killed in Afghanistan today, Wednesday 22 July 2009. The soldier was killed as a result of an explosion that happened whilst on a dismounted patrol in Nad e Ali District, central Helmand Province this morning.
Spokesman for Task Force Helmand, Lieutenant Colonel Nick Richardson:
"We share in the pain that is felt by his family, friends and colleagues at the loss of this courageous soldier; our thoughts and prayers are with them."
Next of kin have been informed and have asked for a period of grace before further details are released.
