  • UK soldier dies in Afghan blast

    A British soldier has been killed in an explosion in Afghanistan's Helmand Province, the Ministry of Defence has confirmed.

    The man, from the Royal Logistic Corps, died on Saturday afternoon near Sangin. Next of kin have been informed.

    His death brings the total number of UK military personnel killed in Afghanistan since 2001 to 224.

    A spokesman for Task Force Helmand said he would be "missed by us, his comrades, but... not be forgotten."

          It is with great regret that the Ministry of Defence must confirm the death of Staff Sergeant Olaf Sean George Schmid, of the Royal Logistic Corps, in Afghanistan on the afternoon of Saturday 31 October 2009.


          Staff Sergeant Olaf Schmid

          SSgt Schmid died instantly following an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) explosion in the Sangin region of Helmand Province.

          At the time he was commanding an Improvised Explosive Device Disposal (IEDD) team who were dealing with a confirmed IED.

          Working in concert with an Advanced Search team he was conducting a manual route search to clear devices in the vicinity of the Forward Operating Base and was defusing the device when it initiated.
