British soldier dies in avalanche
A British soldier has died and two have
been injured after an avalanche in the
Mont Blanc mountain range in the French
Alps, the Ministry of Defence has said.
"The soldiers were part of a group of
six on an adventurous training
expedition," a spokesman said. Next of
kin are being informed.
The group were descending from the peak
of Mont Blanc de Tacul when they were
caught at above 12,000 feet (3,658m).
Three helicopters and dozens of rescue
workers with dogs went to the scene.
