300th British Soldier Dies - Naming The Dead [1]
[Bristol] info@bristolstopwar | 22.06.2010 09:22
Another tragic landmark has been passed with the 300th British soldier to be killed in Afghanistan. They are now dying at a rate of one every two days in a war which is clearly aimless and unwinnable.
Thousands of Afghans have also been killed since the US and British invasion in 2001.
The average age of British soldiers killed in Afghanistan is 22. Two hundred soldiers have been killed in their twenties and 31 teenagers are among the death toll. (SEE http://bit.ly/9vr3AE )
Bristol Stop The War Coalition will be holding a 'Naming The Dead' ceremony on Thursday 24th June from 5pm to 6pm on the Centre (opposite the Hippodrome). We will read the names of Afghan and British dead.
Please circulate this information as widely as possible and try to support this event
