Hi pb1200,

You won't be able to learn of their names until their families have been told.

"Two British soldiers died trying to rescue comrades during an ambush
in Iraq yesterday.
They were shot as they struggled to pull two colleagues from an
armoured Land Rover damaged by a rocket-propelled grenade.
(...)
"The victims' names and units will be withheld until their families
have been told."
