This is a tragic event but it sounds like the guy was killed in the Falklands War, was resurrected and was killed again in Afghanistan.

The commander of a British regiment has become the country's highest-ranking soldier to be killed in action since 1982's Falklands War after he was killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan.
I recognize it's grammatically correct, but it's still awkward. Babs doesn't like it when I use so many commas but in this instance they might have avoided the awkwardness.
