There can be no greater sacrifice than to lay down your life in the service of your country.
I was proud to be joined today in Parliament by Anthony Frith, who, together with other dedicated volunteers, is campaigning to raise funds to commemorate The Staffordshire 3:
Pte Leon Spicer (26), Pte Philip Hewett (21) Both from Tamworth & 2nd Lt Richard Shearer (26) from Nuneaton).
All three were tragically killed on the 16th July 2005 in Maysaan Province, Iraq.
The intention is to raise funds for a lasting memorial in Tamworth with the aim to be unveiling on the 20th anniversary of their tragic deaths in 2025.
