Vikings by David Pentland. Helmand Province, Afghanistan, 12th August 2008. Armoured personnel carriers from The Queen's Royal Lancers, Viking Group, tasked with providing security for the delivery of a new turbine being moved from the Kandahar Airfield to the Kajaki Dam. |
Crossing the Helmand by David Pentland. Musa Qala, Afghanistan, 25th May 2008. While returning to Sangin following an operation in support of 2 PARA battlegroup, the Vikings of 3rd Troop, Armoured Support Company, Royal Marines were the target of an enemy ambush. As the convoy began to cross the Helmand river the waiting Taliban engaged the convoy with RPGs, heavy machine gun and sniper fire. Amazingly despite this hail of fire no one was hit until tragically Marine Dale Gostick was killed and two others injured when his vehicle was blown up by a massive IED. |
