Captain Lisa Head 1981-2011

There are reports that Captain Lisa Head died as a result of bomb disposal duties in Afghanistan. Let us hope that she is decorated posthumously with a fully appropriate honour.

While British troops deployed in any place deserve full acknowledgement and support, one does wonder why over three hundred brave, young Britons have been sent to early deaths in this wild place and why nothing is being done (even after a change in government), to end this tragic campaign.
