THE repatriation of six servicemen which was expected on Thursday will now happen next week.
The Ministry of Defence press office said it had acted on “false information” but could not yet give a date or time for the repatriation.
Sergeant Nigel Coupe, from 1st Battalion The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment, and Corporal Jake Hartley, Private Anthony Frampton, Private Christopher Kershaw, Private Daniel Wade and Private Daniel Wilford, all from 3rd Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment, were killed in Afghanistan last Tuesday.
