Royal Regiment of Artillery

~and~

Gnr. W R Doe,
50 Medium Regiment,
Royal Regiment of Artillery

L/Bmdr. Edward Morgan, 23, and Gnr. William Doe, 19, were killed when their vehicle struck an electronically operated landmine on the Polis to Ktima road. Both men are to be buried in Wayne's Keep Military Cemetery, Nicosia. Tracker dogs were deployed as soon as the authorities became aware of the incident. The dogs led their handlers to the voillage of Polemi, where a terrorist, evidently thinking he had been surrounded, attempted to flee. Marksmen immediately opened fire on the fugitive, who was subsequently captured. Unfortunately, an eleven-year-old Greek Cypriot male was accidentally shot by one of the soldiers. The child was evacuated by helicopter to Nicosia General Hospital, where he is beleived to be in a stable condition.
