The List – First Quarter – June ‘09
As usual, not all names are fully released, for instance I do not have full information on two German soldiers killed in Afghanistan. But also as usual, my sympathies to all those grieving for fallen loved ones!
The following Danish soldiers died in Afghanistan on 17 June as a result of a roadside bomb exploding by their vehicle, it took this long for me to find all the names.
Pvt. Mads Lerche Rasmussen, 21
Pvt. Andreas Sogaard Brohus, 26
Pvt. Martin Abildgaard, 23
