RIP - my thoughts are with his family.
Last night I watched the video footage on the Sun website of the fire fight in Afghanistan and the soldier getting shrapnel in his face. The lad is actually the son of a friend of mine (Phil if you're reading this, Martin) and finding him on the front of the newspapers over a month after the incident has been a bit of a surprise. That sort of unedited frontline footage really shocks you when you realise what these young guys are facing every day. Our boys are doing a fantastic job out there and its devastating whenever we hear of another life lost.
