Updating previous post (#126) about UK soldier killed.

It is with great sadness that the Ministry of Defence must confirm that Private Gavin Elliott, age 19, of 2nd Battalion The Mercian Regiment was killed in Afghanistan on Thursday 3 September 2009.

Private Elliott was operating with The Light Dragoons Battle Group when he died as a result of a gunshot wound sustained whilst on a foot patrol in Babaji district, central Helmand province.
