A Boy and his Dog

Dead soldier Liam Tasker and Army dog return home

Lance Corporal Liam Tasker, from Kirkcaldy in Fife, was shot dead while on patrol in Helmand province.

L/Cpl Tasker, who was called a “rising star” by Army chiefs, was shot by Taliban snipers and Theo died of a seizure shortly after his master.

The ashes of the 26-year-old’s dog Theo will be flown home on the same plane.

This really touches me. Otherwise, words fail.
