Framed article reads: KILLED ON ACTIVE SERVICE IN AFGHANISTAN 23RD AUGUST 2007 The three soldiers, all serving in 7 Platoon B (Suffolk) Company, were killed when the platoon came under accurate fire from a determined Taliban force during a fighting patrol to disrupt enemy activity and reassure the local population north west of Kajaki, in northern Helmand Province, southern Afghanistan. During the ensuing fire fight air support was requested from two US F15 aircraft to engage the enemy positions from the enemy positions and it was then that a bomb tragically struck the compound where the three soldiers and their section were located. An emergency helicopter was tasked to assist, however, sadly Privates McClure, Foster and Thrumble were pronounced dead at the scene. Two other soldiers were also injured in the incident which occurred at approximately 6.30pm local time. The injured soldiers were evacuated by helicopter to the medical facility at Camp Bastion for treatment. A picture of Private Robert Foster is top left of the article, Private John Thrumble at the bottom of the image and Private Aaron McClure is in the top right of the article. Each remembrance cross bears the name of each Private on the top of the cross and the words Royal Anglian Regiment (left of the cross), The Vikings (right of the cross) and the date of their dead 23-8-07 beneath the poppy which is in the centre of each cross.
