ANARE & PAUL MUIRHEAD

1 Royal Irish Regiment

27 years old


Commanding Officer of the 1st Battalion the Royal Irish Regiment, Lt Col Michael McGovern, today, 2
September 2006, paid tribute to Ranger Draiva:

Ranger Draiva was a superb, strong and courageous soldier. He performed brilliantly well in his
recent tour of Southern Iraq and was one of the first to volunteer for the tour of Afghanistan.

His contribution in Helmand province in extremely challenging conditions has been second to none and
those that know Draiva will not be surprised that he was killed in action, in the face of the enemy,
defending his comrades and base.

His death has been received with real sadness by his colleagues in Afghanistan and the rest of the
battalion at Fort George, near Inverness.

On learning of the death of Ranger Draiva, Defence Secretary Des Browne said:

I wish to express my sincere condolences to the family and friends of Ranger Anare Draiva. My
thoughts are with them and those of the other solider injured in the same incident.

'We canot judge a biography by its lenght,
By the number of pages in it.
We must judge it by its richness,
of its contents.
Sometimes those unfinished are among the most beautiful'
