The total number of serving British servicemen killed in Afghanistan, since 2001, has now risen to 48.
Yesterday, Royal Marine Jonathan Holland, of 45 Commando, was killed by a mine strike in the extremely unsafe Sangin Valley (Helmand Province). Today, a so-far un-named Royal Marine, from 42 Commando, died of wounds sustained on convoy duty at the beginning of the month.
Our thoughts should go out to their friends and family, at their time of grief, as should our gratitude.
Lest we forget!
