Captain James “Jim” Philippson was killed in action in Afghanistan on 11th June 2006. Jim was part of a rapid reaction unit called out from Forward Operating Base Robinson to rescue an injured comrade whose patrol had been ambushed and was under sustained and heavy attack in Sangin. Before reaching their comrades the rapid reaction unit was also ambushed and it was during this attack that Jim sadly lost his life. |
The
Captain James Philippson Trust Fund and website has been set up
by Jim’s friends and family to try to give some value and
benefit to the tragedy that we have all experienced. Funds raised
in the name of the Trust will go to a variety of beneficiaries
and charities that we feel Jim would have supported. The board
of trustees welcome any recommendations or requests for donations
to specific charities or causes and a decision will be made by
the board bearing in mind “what Jim would want”.
