In case anybody doesn't know (I Doubt it) but 1 Kings were re-badged in 2006 as 2 D.o.L.

A sad loss for me, especially after such a great Saturday.

RIP. Another brother lost.......


I cant understand the need for these foot patrols. Helmand isn't Belfast, and that was bad enough.

Kingsman Jason Dunn-Bridgeman killed in Afghanistan

It is with deepest regret that the Ministry of Defence must confirm the death of Kingsman Jason Dunn-Bridgeman from 2nd Battalion The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment in southern Afghanistan on 13 September 2009.

Kingsman Dunn-Bridgeman, aged 20, died after his platoon became locked in an exchange of fire with the enemy during a foot patrol in the Babaji district of Helmand province. He received a gunshot wound to the neck and, despite every endeavour made by those around him to save his life, died of his wounds.

Kingsman Jason Dunn-Bridgeman, 2nd Battalion The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment

Born on 6 December 1988 in Liverpool, Kingsman Dunn-Bridgeman joined Arnhem Company, 2nd Battalion The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment (the 'Lions of England'), in May 2008 after attending the Infantry Training School in Catterick. Despite breaking his leg during training, he made a full recovery and completed the demanding course with merit.
