“The murder of another RIR soldier in Afghanistan reminds us of the great sacrifice made by our heroic armed forces as they fight for liberty and freedom in foreign lands. TUV thoughts lie with the family and comrades  of this  fallen soldier and we hope they will find some solace and  comfort knowing that so many people here appreciate and honour the great courage and selfless sacrifice made on the dusty Afghanistan plains.

 

The Royal Irish Regiment exemplifies the very best in the British military tradition and all who value freedom will share in the pain this sad news brings but also pray for the family trusting they will know God’s comfort at this most difficult time.”
