British Fusilier Jamie Candlish, who had recently completed a six-month tour of combat in Helmand, Afghanistan with the Royal Highland Fusiliers, was killed in a car accident in Scotland on Friday 19th August 2011.
The 20-year-old soldier, from Hamilton, had been working at the Edinburgh Tattoo as part of the support team earlier that day. Having returned to his barracks, it is thought that he and a friend were on their way out again when the accident happened.
Note: we have included Fusilier Candlish on this site because he had served in Afghanistan.
R.I.P to the hero so sad to hear about this, another great guy taken too soon thoughts are with his family and friends.
