Marine jay hylton from Swadlincote in Derbyshire died on the Shatt al-Arab river, the main waterway on the north eastern outskirts of Basra city. On Sunday 12th of November 2006, elements of the boat group were conducting a routine patrol of the waterway, moving from south to north,As part of this patrol, it was necessary to negotiate a number of areas where movement is constrained. One of these points is a pontoon bridge.
While near the pontoon bridge, one of the rigid raiding craft came under attack from an improvised explosive device and this killed Marine Hylton as well as causing 3 other marines to lose there lives.
Jay who was divorced leaves behind to sons Joshua 16 and Nathan 13,
Mum and DAD Ann and Pat and brothers Darren and mick.
Jay was allways life and soul of the party and allways had a smile on his face when you were feeling down he would be the one to pick you up.
Hundreds of people lined the streets on the day of his funeral to say goodbye in there own way it showed how popular and liked Jay was.
Ill never forget his smiling face and allways think of him when i hear the Boyzone song ' No Matter What ' he/we would allways sing his kareoke favourite.
im sure we will meet again some day RIP mate !!!! (Brummie )
Another year goes by mate, another rememberence day, always will remember you, good laughs and good times on the boats on foreign runs ashore.
RIP mate!

Hi mate,
Another day comes and goes, and yet again, I remember you still. Not a day goes by without remembering you.
Anyway, put a good word in for me, mate, and see you at the final re-org!
"Step forward now, you soldier,
You've borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."

☆ If every tear we shed for you, became a star up above.☆ You'd stroll in Heavens garden lit with everlasting love ☆ If only we could turn back time, Life once again would be so fine. ☆ Time would pass, you'd still be here, To have, to hold, to love so dear.☆
Duty Done !!!!
A makeshift cross on broken soil,
The final marking of the soldiers toil.
Gone to serve at General Command,
In a distant, unforgiving land
A place where death and danger walks,
Among the ripened poppy stalks,
And on that final, fateful day,
The enemy stole his life away.
They took his future, but not his past,
Among his friends it will always last.
At home the grieving has just begun,
For a grieving mother for her fallen son.
Many will stop and question why,
This young man should early die.
Beside the arguments and great debates,
The soldier died beside his mates.
As all that’s left when the enemy attack,
Is the friend behind you, watching your back.
R.I.P. Britian's Finest!

Right now I'm in a different place
And though we seem apart
I'm closer than I ever was
I'm there inside your heart
I'm with you when you greet each day
And while the sun shines bright
I'm there to share the sunsets, too
I'm with you every night
I'm with you when the times are good
To share a laugh or two,
And if a tear should start to fall
I'll still be there for you
And when that day arrives
That we no longer are apart,
I'll smile and hold you close to me
... Forever in my heart
