It is with deep sadness that the Ministry of Defence must confirm that Corporal Kevin Mulligan, Lance Corporal Dale Thomas Hopkins and Private Kyle Adams were killed in Afghanistan on Thursday 6 August 2009.
The three soldiers, all from The Parachute Regiment, were killed while undertaking a routine security patrol alongside Afghan National Security Forces to the north of Lashkar Gah when the Jackal vehicle they were travelling in was hit by an explosion, followed by a small arms fire attack.
MOD news here.

Very sad news, i was at my local's landlord's 40th birthday party Saturday, he is an ex para that served in Afghanistan, we all had a minute silence for the fallen, it was really moving. The forces need to get out, i hear on the news that the British could be there 40 years, what a waste of life, even more brave guys/gals to lose their lives. RIP
