Re: The Iraq Page, RIP soldiers
 
Samuela Vanua
Quote:
MOD -- It is with deep regret that the Ministry of Defence must confirm the death of Gunner Samuela Vanua, Royal Artillery, in Iraq on Monday 4 September 2006.
On 4 September 2006 Gunner Samuela Vanua, 27, from 58 Battery, 12 Regiment Royal Artillery died as a result of injuries sustained from a roadside bomb at approximately 1300hrs local time near the town of Ad Dayr, north of Basra City.
He was on a routine patrol in support of a Danish reconstruction team when the incident occurred. The explosion hit his landrover patrol as it was returning to their base following a routine task training the Iraqi Police. Very sadly the incident killed two soldiers from the Battery including Gunner Vanua.

Rest in peace Sam.
