From the local Times and I hope the Union Flag at the Civic Centre is at half mast today. Four Hounslow soldiers killed in Afghanistan 9:52am Monday 17th August 2009 Four soldiers based at Hounslow Barracks were killed by explosions while on foot patrol in Afghanistan over the weekend. Three of the soldiers from The 2nd Battalion The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers were killed yesterday, less than 24 hours after their comrade died from injuries sustained on Saturday. The soldiers, who have not yet been named, had all been on patrol near Sangin in Helmand province. Lieutenant Colonel Nick Richardson, spokesman for Task Force Helmand, said: "Each and every death is a tragedy and the whole of Task Force Helmand feels the weight of such great loss. “Words mean very little in such an extremely sad situation but our thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of these brave soldiers. We share their pain and mourn the loss of these true British heroes." Next of kin have been informed and have asked for a period of grace before further details are released.
