    The serviceman, from 3 Rifles, was killed on Friday morning while on foot patrol near Sangin in Helmand Province.
    His death is not linked to Operation Moshtarak. Next of kin have been informed.
    Lieutenant Colonel David Wakefield, spokesman for Task Force Helmand, said: "He died in the course of his duty and among his comrades. He will be sorely missed and we will remember him."
    The latest death takes the number of British casualties since fighting began in Afghanistan in 2001 to 269.
    It is the second fatality to hit 3 Rifles in the past few days. On Tuesday Corporal Richard Green, 23, from Reading, was shot dead while at a checkpoint near Sangin.
