Lance Corporal Sandy Sandford killed in Afghanistan


Another brave British soldier sacrificed to global zionism.


It is with deep sadness that the Ministry of Defence must confirm the death of Lance Corporal Paul "Sandy" Sandford from 1st Battalion The Worcestershire and Sherwood Foresters in Helmand Province, southern Afghanistan, Wednesday 6 June 2007.

LCpl Sandford was killed at around 0645 (local time) while taking part in an offensive patrol with his company aimed at disrupting Taliban forces in the Upper Gereshk Valley area of Helmand Province, eight kilometres north east of the town of Gereshk.

"LCpl Paul 'Sandy' Sandford was killed in action whilst fighting enemy forces in the Upper Gereshk Valley in Helmand Province. He has died as he had lived, fearlessly leading his men from the front. We have lost a good friend and an exceptional fighting man and we send our thoughts to his wife, Gaynor, and his family. Whilst the loss of LCpl Sandford weighs heavy on our hearts it strengthens our resolve to pursue our goals here and we strive to uphold the standards that he set and maintained." Quote: Lieutenant Colonel Richard Westley MC
