Today, unfortunately, we have to mourn the death of one of those soldiers during a live-fire exercise at the Bemowo Piskie training ground. This afternoon at 16:24 CET, the Spanish Army has communicated that tragic event pointing out that the deceased is Corporal B. G. P. A., belonging to Tabor I of the Ceuta Regulars Group No. 54 (GREC 54). "His memory of him and his dedication to the Homeland will always remain present in our hearts", the Army has noted.

According to El Faro de Ceuta, the deceased Corportal was a native of Ecuador, he was 43 years old and was the father of two daughters. He joined the Spanish Army in 2004 and had been awarded the Bronze Cross for Constancy in Service and the Operation Balmis Commemorative Medal. My condolences to his family and colleagues.

Give Lord eternal rest. Let perpetual light shine upon him. Rest in peace.

Honor demanded and they obeyed,
Duty required it and they complied with it;
With their blood the company was signed
With their efforts they made the country great.

They were big and strong, because they were
Faithful to the oath they swore.
That's why they fought like brave men,
And they died like heroes.

Dying for the country was his destiny,
Love Spain its eternal passion,
Serve in the Armies his vocation and fate.

They did not want to serve another Flag,
They did not want to walk another path,
They didn't know how to live any other way.
