Private Jonathan Kitulagoda, 23, was killed by an apparent suicide bomb attack on 28 January 2004.
He came from Plymouth where he was a student.
A member of the Rifle Volunteers, a Territorial Army battalion, he was serving in Kabul with the
International Security Assistance Force.
Lieutenant Colonel Ian Blewett, the Commanding Officer of The Rifle Volunteers, said: "Jonathan
Kitulagoda was a young man of 23 who played a full and professional role as a TA infantryman, and
was a popular and committed member of E (Devon and Dorset) Company.
"Together with his fellow soldiers, he volunteered for duty in Afghanistan, helping the efforts to
bring peace and help ordinary Afghanis forge a better society."

I can't remember ever seeing Jonathan with anything other than a smile on his face. He would never turn his back on someone who needed help and would regard anything he did for anyone else as just the normal thing to do. Whenever I'm tired at the end of a days skiing just as the lifts are about to close or I don't feel like going on another night out or I want to put down my pen on an unfinished passage, thinking about Jonathan always makes me go the extra distance. I think of him every day and will never understand why such an outstanding young man had to die at only 23 years old.
You were so sadly taken away from us, I will alway remember you Kit. You were so brave. My thoughts are with your mum, dad and two brothers.
