British Soldier.........

British soldier Mark Quinsey's sister Jaime, second from right, follows his coffin as it leaves the Immanuel Church, Birmingham, England. Quinsey was shot to death in a drive-by ambush at an army base in Northern Ireland. Military engineer Mark Quinsey was only hours away from deploying to Afghanistan when he and another soldier died in a spray of gun fire outside the entrance of the Massereene army base in Antrim, Northern Ireland. They were picking up pizza at the time. The attack last week was claimed by a splinter group of the Irish Republican Army.

All of the soldiers were taking part in a major operation aimed at attacking Taliban command centers and supply lines. May God, comfort the families and friends involved.
