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 )

Hi Jay sorry it has been so long mate, but the last few months I find that I come on here, do a few candles and then it all gets too much and I have to back off. It is heartbreaking all you special, brave lads and its still going on Jay, another one today. Anyway, have you had a great weekend with the boys? Lots of beer and laughs? I do hope so. The weather has been rubbish here, so much rain, typical bank holiday! Have a wonderful night. Lots of love xxx

Craig and Maria, hope you are well, take care xxx

I aint racing this year as you probably already know and Brad aint had a a good start to the season I cant help but think you have had something to do with his car playing up its just the sort of thing you would do to wind me up.
He ran out of petrol one of the races 1st meeting and I bet you was laughting your head off.
well Ive had a play about and ive got a few bits to change on his mini and hopefully you will leave it alone you have had your fun !!!
Brad said just because I aint racing you have dedcided to mess about with his car to wind me up.
I tried to get on here earlier to leave you a message and I couldnt get on you are allways doing summat to wind me up you swine, When I came to see you I said to you give me a sign that you are still watching over us I think Ive got the message now how about bring me some good luck with hte mini instead of problems same as the computer its funny how Maria can get straight on here but I cant im sure ill get my own back one day

IN MEMORY OF THE FALLEN

Look to the skies
On a crystal clear night
For there spread before you
Is a wondrous sight

You may be wondering
What’s all the glory?
Just hold on a minute
And hear my story

On September 11 2001
America’s world tore apart
Evil was unleashed that day
It struck right at their heart

Then over to England
This evil curse spread
Creating havoc and mayhem
Leaving innocents dead

So decisions were made
And tactics were planned
To stamp out this curse
In its own home land

Coalition forces deployed
From land, sea and air
To rid our world
Of the evil hiding there

Its five years on now
There’s no end in sight
And while evil still lurks there
We’ll stand and we’ll fight

And for each life that is lost
A new star will be born
Shining down on the earth
From dusk until dawn

You see stars hold the spirits
Of those lives now fallen
Our brave men and women
Whose lives that were stolen

But their memories live on
In those stars up above
They’re resting in peace now
Still holding our love

Now look to the skies
On a crystal clear night
You’ll see spread before you
A truly, wondrous sight.


Much love and respect to you all

There is discipline in A Soldier
you can see it when he walks,
There is honor in A Soldier
you hear it when he talks.
There is courage in A Soldier
you can see it in his eyes,
There is loyalty in A Soldier
that he will not compromise.
There is something in A Soldier
that makes him stand apart,
There is strength in A Soldier
that beats from his heart.
A Soldier isn't a title any man
can be hired to do,
A Soldier is the soul of that man
buried deep inside of you.
A Soldier's job isn't finished after
an 8 hour day or a 40 hour week,
A Soldier is always A Soldier
even while he sleeps.
A Soldier serves his country first
and his life is left behind,
A Soldier has to sacrifice what
comes first in a civilian's mind.
If you are civilian -
I am saying this to you.....
next time you see A Soldier
remember what they do.
A Soldier is the reason our land
is 'Home of the free',
A Soldier is the one that is brave
protecting you and me.
