Off To Lashkar Gah Today

This is one time I hope I don't find myself confronted with interesting images. US, Afghan, and British forces have launched a major offensive today in Marja, about 15 kilometers away from Lashkar Gah. Wish me luck!

Of course we do Wendy!

Take care. Please…

Hi Wendy,
Just checking in to see if you're ok - the news over here paints a rather bleak picture. Numerous civilian casualties in Marjah.
How are you doing?



1: British forces find cache of IEDs, along with tunnels and ammunition dumps in this area
2: UK/Danish troops continue to disrupt Taliban movements; small arms contacts reported
3: US and UK forces operating either side of Canal 56 crossings consolidate their hold on the area
4: Bulk of British operations going on in this area; clearing and holding village-by-village
5: US forces continue air and ground assaults; On the outskirts of Marjah two rockets miss their targets, striking a house and killing 12 civilians

I'd like to add my wishes for your safety as well as everyone involved.

Back in Kabul. Didn't do a lot of photography but I may have one or two images worth posting.

Thanks to all for your wishes- appreciate it!
