  • Soldier from 2 RIFLES killed in Afghanistan

    It is with sadness that the Ministry of Defence must announce that a soldier from 2nd Battalion The Rifles, was killed in Afghanistan, yesterday, Saturday 7 November 2009.

    The soldier, serving with 4th Battalion The Rifles, was killed as a result of an explosion that happened near Sangin, in central Helmand province, during the afternoon.

    RIP
