    "He is the 13th Royal Marine killed in Afghanistan in the last two months"

    Have the Taliban increased their number/activity recently??

    or is this the 'norm' for this unit to suffer so many losses in so little time??

    Firstly - Rest In Peace - thoughts with family and friends

    to answer your question - although he is the 13th RM to die in Afghan and that does sound high for s single unit, which it is, it is the RM supplying three Bn's 40/42/45 Commando to the theatre - if that puts it in perspective for you?
