Tributes have been paid to a British soldier who died 10 days after he was caught in an explosion while trying to rescue an injured colleague. Fusilier Shaun Bush, of the 2nd Battalion The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, is the latest victim of the conflict in Afghanistan. He was on foot patrol in the Sangin district of Helmand Province when his colleague Sergeant Simon Valentine was struck by an explosion. Fusilier Bush tried to rescue him but was hit by a second blast. Sergeant Valentine died from his injuries but Fusilier Bush was flown home for hospital treatment. The 24-year-old from Coventry died at the Royal College of Defence Medicine in Selly Oak. Full Story >>Attachments:
