It is with deep sadness that the Ministry of Defence must confirm that two Royal Marines were killed as a result of an explosion in the Garmsir District of southern Helmand yesterday afternoon, Wednesday 12 November 2008.
The two Royal Marines were from the UK Landing Force Command Support Group, operating as part of Task Force Helmand's Information Exploitation Group.
They were taking part in a joint patrol with soldiers from the Afghan Security Forces when their vehicle was struck by an explosive device.

God Bless and Eternally Rest these Good Men. St Pete is going to stand tall and salute when he see's their bright eyes and stout hearts. Amen.
This is the exact same city I was in and these are the exact same guys my platoon RIPPED out with, they're the ones who relieved us. I hate Afghanistan and I don't want to go back, but when I see this crap I can't wait to get on the next plane over there and this summer's deployment back to the ghan can't come soon enough...
