Drummer Thomas Wright 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 Drummer Thomas Wright, aged 21, from the 1st Battalion The Worcestershire and Sherwood Foresters Regiment, in Afghanistan on Sunday 24 June 2007.

Drummer Wright was killed at around 1000hrs local time, roughly six kilometres outside of Lashkar Gah in Helmand province. His armoured 'Snatch' land rover was escorting a military team surveying the site for a new road project linking several Afghan villages in the Babaji area when it was caught in an explosion.

Four other soldiers were also injured in the explosion and they are currently receiving medical treatment for their injuries at the ISAF hospital at Camp Bastion.

"Wrighty’ was larger than life, loud, outrageous, quirky, a joker and inspirational. Widely respected and admired he was a key member of a tightly knit company. Our thoughts and condolences go out to his family, girlfriend and mates in this difficult hour." Quote: Major Paul 'Shove' Gilby
