An Afghanistan veteran who saw his two best friends die on the frontline killed himself 'because he felt guilty that he had survived'.
Lance Sergeant Dan Collins, 29, could have died several times but survived being shot in the back, his leg being grazed by a bullet and being caught in two bomb blasts.
However, two of his closest friends, Dane Elson, 22, and Tobie Fasfous, 29, were killed during fighting in Helmand province.
The Welsh Guardsman apparently struggled to come to terms with returning home safely and was found hanged in a quarry near his home in Cardigan, West Wales, on New Year’s Day.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
