Brave Soldiers

 

David Marsh, who was 23 and from Sheffield, was serving with the Somerset-based 40 Commando when he was killed by a roadside bomb in March.

 

Marine Marsh's wife Claire has previously said: "David was a loving and dedicated family man.

 

"He went though life with a smile on his face, which will continue through our beautiful daughter (Molly).

 

"The Royal Marines was his passion and love, he will always be our hero."

 

Lt John Thornton was also killed. Marine Marsh's full military funeral and burial brought Bolsterstone, in South Yorkshire, to a standstill.

 

His widow Claire and daughter Molly held hands as they walked behind his coffin through a guard of honour.
