Comrades of two British soldiers killed in Afghanistan have spoken of their great loss.

Lance Corporal David Dennis, 29, of The Light Dragoons, and Private Robert Laws, 18, of 2nd Battalion The Mercian Regiment, were killed in separate incidents in Helmand Province on Saturday.

They were taking part in Operation Panchai Palang, or Panther's Claw, a massive mission to improve security ahead of Afghanistan's presidential election in August.
