    Not long after several Danish soldiers fell victims in an Afghan mission, yet another UK Royal Marine was killed on Christmas Eve. The marine, from 42 commando, was shot dead by enemy fire during a clash in the Nad-e-Ali district near Lashkar Gah in Helmand province.

    Since deployment in 2001, an estimated 136 UK troops have been killed, including 11 Royal Marines in the past two months.

    Commander Paula Rowe, 42 Commando, and Capt Mark Windsor, of the Royal Navy, have expressed sadness at the marine’s death. Capt Mark Windsor commented the marine as a dedicated professional who risked his life in bringing security and stability to the people of Afghanistan.
