Corporal Rodney Wilson killed in Iraq


150th British soldier sacrificed to global zionism.



It is with much sadness that the Ministry of Defence must confirm the death of Corporal Rodney Wilson from 4th Battalion The Rifles, in southern Iraq on Thursday 7 June 2007.

Corporal Wilson, aged 30, was killed in the Al Atiyah district, north west of Basra City at about 0220 hours. His patrol was part of a search and detention operation led by 2nd Battalion The Royal Welsh when they came under attack from small arms fire and rocket propelled grenades.

"Corporal Wilson was one of the outstanding Riflemen of his generation. A charismatic and inspiring figure in 4th Battalion The Rifles, he was a man of immense natural talent and great strength of character. He had that rare gift of natural leadership that comes to only a few: clarity of thought, crisp and sure footed decision making, strength of purpose and a happy combination of a magnetic personality and absolute self assurance that drew Riflemen to him."
Quote: Lieutenant Colonel Patrick Sanders
