THE bodies of two British troops killed while on patrol together in Afghanistan will be repatriated tomorrow.
Sergeant Andrew James Jones, of the Royal Engineers, and Trooper Andrew Martin Howarth of Fondouk Squadron, The Queen's Royal Lancers, both died this week.
The cortege is expected to pass along Headley Way, in Headington, Oxford, at about 8pm on its way to the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford.
Both men were killed in action during a vehicle patrol in the Bolan district of Lashkar Gah in Helmand province on Saturday.
Royal British Legion veterans and members of the public are expected to line the road to pay tribute to the fallen troops.
