Corporal Damian Lawrence, of the 2nd Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment, was injured by a bomb blast while on a patrol in the village of Kajaki in southern Afghanistan on February 17, 2008 during a joint UK-Afghan operation to clear compounds in the area. He and another soldier were evacuated to Camp Bastion by helicopter but Cpl Lawrence, who was born in Scarborough and raised in Whitby, died en route. Craftsman Andrew Found from the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers served with the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards (Carabiniers and Greys). He was killed in an explosion on June 16 2011 while on an operation near Adinza’i in the Gereshk Valley area, within the northern Nahr-e Saraj district of Helmand Province. Craftsman Found came from Whitby and was affectionately known as “Foundy”. A new footbridge in a North Yorkshire town has been dedicated to the memory of two local soldiers. The Whitby Memorial Bridge, which links the West Pier and the pier extension, has replaced an old footbridge built in the 1940s. Cpl Damian Lawrence, 25, died in 2008 and Crafstman Andrew Found, 27, was killed in 2011. Both were from Whitby and died while serving in Afghanistan. Relatives of the two men attended the dedication ceremony on 9 August. Craftsman Found died in an explosion in the Gereshk Valley on 16 June 2011. The father of two from the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, had been trying to rescue a vehicle which had been hit by another blast. Cpl Lawrence, who had a daughter, was serving with the 2nd Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment when he was killed whilst on patrol in Helmand province on 17 February 2008.
