The Rememberance Day 2009

Dear readers,

The death, on the eve of Remembrance Day, took the number of British troops who have died in Afghanistan since the mission began in October 2001 to 231.

Of those, 200 were killed as a result of hostile action, the Ministry of Defence said.

The remaining 31 have died from illness, non-combat injuries or accidents, or a cause of death has not been determined.
