The fifth soldier to escape from the vechicle in which his 4 comrades died is a Dad from the same village school my little ones go too.It was in Afghanistan.

Ive only just been able to put this on as ive just got back from work. On my way home i went to see his wife and the little girls....they are in shock.

Thank God he is alive, he will need such support,I cant release his name as hes in the specials TA service.

Thanks all,

Caz xxx

My son wants to join the army and cannot understand why I hate the thought..

My husband is on army camp and I have asked him to leave the army Blue eyes, sounds awful but no more should die out there.

Yorkie, so many of them have families, others are just babies themselves. it is truly awful.

This mans Mum is the little village schools caretaker, he went there, she was so upset this morning...
