The plaque in honour of the nine soldiers who died in 2007Vandals Destroy Afghanistan Memorial In The Same Week Six Soldiers Are Killed -- The Telegraph
Vandals have destroyed a memorial to nine soldiers killed in Afghanistan in 2007.
It comes in the same week that six serviceman were killed in a single explosion while on patrol in the country.
The acrylic plaque to the men of the Royal Anglian Regiment was kicked to pieces along with wooden crosses and a wreath.
They had been placed at a memorial garden in the grounds of the regiment’s Chapel of Remembrance in Essex.
The attack has been condemned as “senseless” by the families of the fallen as the monument was plastic and did not have any value as scrap.
One of the men commemorated at the garden was Lance Corporal Alex Hawkins, who was killed, aged 22, in an explosion in Helmand province in July 2007.
