More than ten years have passed since combat operations ended in Afghanistan.
Time moves on, but as this raw and emotional account brings home, for the friends and relations of the fallen, life is never the same again.
Tpr James Munday (LG) was killed by an IED in 2008, plunging his mother Caroline and wider family into their worst nightmare.
In her memoir, she writes movingly of her despair – as well as her rage at the politicians whose decisions led to war. It is both a stark portrayal of grief and, as remembrance approaches, a sombre reminder of the human cost of conflict.
