Guardsman David Atherton 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 David Atherton from the 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards in southern Afghanistan on Thursday 26 July 2007.

Guardsman Atherton was serving in the Anti-Tank section in Number 3 Company, the 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards. The operation was in its third day of fighting when Guardsman Atherton was killed during a fierce fire fight against Taliban fighters near the village of Mirmandab. He had just successfully engaged a Taliban position with a Javelin anti-tank missile when he was shot. His brave actions helped to neutralise the enemy threat and enabled his Company to advance safely.

"Guardsman Atherton was a real character and a good friend to all who knew him. Whether he was conducting ceremonial duties in London in his tunic and bearskin, or fighting in combats, he was immensely proud to be a Grenadier. He was highly respected by all who served alongside him. Quote: Lieutenant Colonel Carew Hatherley".
