A Military Operations news article

It is with deep regret that the Ministry of Defence must confirm the deaths of one Intelligence Corps soldier and three other British soldiers in Afghanistan yesterday.
The soldiers were taking part in a deliberate operation east of Lashkar Gah when the vehicle in which they were travelling was caught in an explosion at approximately 1540hrs on Tuesday 17 June 2008.
Tragically three soldiers were killed in the incident and a further two wounded. The Medical Emergency Response Team were mobilised and evacuated all casualties to the ISAF medical facility at Camp Bastion. Sadly one of the two injured soldiers was pronounced dead on arrival. The fifth soldier is receiving treatment for his wounds and is in a stable condition.
Next of kin have been informed and have requested a period of grace before further details are released.

RIP Guys and Gal.
They went with songs to the battle, they were young.
Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
Lest we Forget
