WHEN the driver of an armoured car failed to turn up for a patrol because he was taking a shower, teenage soldier Christopher Kershaw ‘stepped up to the mark’ and volunteered to take his place.
He paid for his dedication with his life. A few minutes after the 40ton Warrior left its base, it was ripped apart by a roadside bomb – killing Private Kershaw and five comrades.
The explosion blew a crater almost 5ft deep and flipped the truck on to its side. Its gun turret was blown off and landed 60ft away.

"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."
