Heartbroken

I lad I went to high school with and spent hell of a lot of time with at school was killed in Afghanistan over Christmas, I never got back in touch with him when we left but I was just dumbfounded when I heard, I knew he had joined the Royal Marines and he always wanted to.

I have set up a facebook group and its already full of people he served

Corporal Elms was killed in action by an explosion on 31 December 2008 in Southern Helmand on operations with Zulu Company, 45 Commando Royal Marines. The Company was conducting a local area patrol alongside Afghan National Army troops in order to reassure the local population.

My life has been really put into prospective and that I am wasting everyday.
