  • 4 RIFLES soldier killed in Helmand

    It is with sadness that the Ministry of Defence must confirm that a soldier from 4th Battalion The Rifles, was killed in Afghanistan today, Sunday 8 November 2009.

    The soldier, serving with the 3 RIFLES Battle Group, died from injuries sustained in an explosion that happened near Sangin, in central Helmand province, this morning.

    RIP

    R.I.P. brother.
    You cannot fight a war with one hand tied behind your back.
