Killed alongside Sergeant Mark McLaren when 2 Puma helicopters crashed north of Baghdad, Iraq

'Mark was an exemplary Combat Leader, soldier, father, husband, friend and Briton;
dedicated to his family, his men, his mission and his country.

In the finest traditions of the Army and his Regiment - he was utterly selfless; never shirking danger, effort or hard service in the pursuit of his mission. His loss is tragic, and keenly felt by all; but his example to others will be sure to endure and inspire us all for years to come'
