Corporal John Rigby of "The Rifles"
The Rifles have suffered another loss of a brave soldier. Corporal John Rigby has died of injuries received when a road bomb exploded as his unit was returning from patrol on Friday.
Lieutenant Colonel Patrick Sanders, Cpl Rigby's Commanding Officer said his battalion was "utterly heartbroken".
He said: "The death of any soldier is a tragedy and in death all are equal, but there are some whose loss is particularly hard to bear. "The force of their personality, their personal and professional qualities and the love, respect and popularity they inspire set them apart. Corporal John Rigby was such a man. "We are utterly heartbroken. But we are also unbowed, tough and determined: John would have it no other way."
I am sure our hearts go out to his family and friends and to his twin brother who is also serving in The Rifles and was at his brother bedside when he passed away from his wounds.
We want Our Boys home. We do not care what happens to Iraq and Afghanistan. They can kill each other in their thousands, we do not care, so long as British lives are not lost in an illegal war. A war started by a man who now flees from office but will never flee the wrath of a British National Party government and the BNP members and supporters. Your can read more about The Rifles here.
