Guardsman Tony Downes killed in Afghanistan

Another brave British soldier sacrificed to global zionism.


It is with deep regret that the Ministry of Defence must confirm the death of Guardsman Neil 'Tony' Downes from the 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, on Saturday 9 June 2007.

Guardsman Downes's vehicle was hit by an explosion when on a patrol with the Afghan National Army (ANA) close to the town of Sangin in Helmand Province.

"Always full of energy and enthusiasm, his intellect and humour constantly shone through the darkest of situations. He was a resolute and steadfast friend to all who knew him. He excelled as a soldier, whether in tunic and bearskin or combats, and was held in the highest regard by all who had the pleasure to serve alongside him." Quote: Lieutenant Colonel Carew Hatherley, Commanding Officer, 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards
