Private Robert Graham Foster - known as Frog to his friends at home and Fozzy to his army family.
Rob was 19 years old when he was killed in a blue on blue incident in Kajaki, Afghanistan along with
his close friends Private Aaron McClure and Private John Thrumble on the 23rd August 2007. He was a
very proud member of B Company, 1 Royal Anglian Regiment - known as the Vikings who he only joined
in October 2006 after passing out from Catterick on the 20th October 2006 - it was to be a journey
of great personal satisfaction for him which was tragically cut so short.
Where do we start to talk about Rob and how do we stop! He was firstly a very loving man - he had
so much to go around and gave it freely. He loved his family and spoke to us everyday when he
could, he loved his friends at home and missed them very much while he was away and he loved his
army boys who became so important to him. Nearly every photo we have of him he has got his arm
around someone! He had a terrific sense of humour. A real joker in the pack and always upto some
sort of mischief! He would never turn down a dare and didn't care how daft he looked doing it! He
had the ability to cheer anyone up when they felt down, actually seeing it as his responsiblity to
do so. He always had a big smile on his face and took the time to talk to anyone of any age and
would never just put his head down and walk past.
He was a small pebble that when dropped in a big pond caused many ripples as was proved at his
celebration which was attended by over 500 people.
To us, his family, Rob is a great loss. Lisa & John, Lauren his sister, Grandparents, Uncles and
Aunts and Cousins all miss him very much. Quite simply, life will never be the same again.
Until we meet again our darling boy may you rest in peace. All our love always xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Leyton Orient Remember With Pride
Dear Rob,
I have been speaking with your dad on numerous occasions about you and how concerned I am that Leyton Orient remember you and the sacrifice you made. As you know the O's have a rich and proud tradition and heritage dating right back to WW1. I am sure the three Orient footballers who gave their lives at the Somme - William Jonas, Richard McFadden and George Scott are with you.
I know your dad was so proud to take part in the memorial service that was held at Leyton Orient on remembrance weekend. It meant a lot to O's supporters also.
The Supporters' Club is in the process of updating its pictures and images in the club and I will ensure that you are commemorated alongside those 'Orient Diehards' from the Somme.
Up The O's!
We Will Remember You
Hi TopMan, this is the first time for a while that i have written on here, Mums birthday is fast approching this Saturday 23rd, we all know what that means to the Foster's, Thumble's & McClure's, another month since we lost all you brave Vikings.

Life is Hard Without you
•:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥
Missing you more with each new day
and trying to be brave...
Thinking of our happy times
and all the love you gave...
Feeling very grateful
for the dreams we saw come true,
For every lovely thing we shared
and, most of all, for you...
Treasuring each memory
that keeps you ever near...
Remembering familiar things

For all the shared and precious times
grief cannot take away.
