"UK troops killed on patrol named" - to remind they're not figures...
"Two British soldiers killed in southern Afghanistan have been named by the Ministry of Defence.
Sergeant Craig Brelsford and Private Johan Botha, from 2nd Battalion, The Mercian Regiment, were killed during a firefight with Taleban insurgents.
The soldiers died in an operation against the Taleban in an area south of Garmsir, in Helmand province.
A number of other soldiers were injured in the "heavy firefight", including two who remain in a serious condition." (my bold)
