Mother criticises Afghan conflict

The mother of the 200th soldier to die in the Afghanistan conflict has criticised equipment provision in the Army.

Private Richard Hunt died in Selly Oak hospital in Birmingham after being critically injured by a roadside bomb while on patrol with the Second Battalion Royal Welsh Regiment.

Hazel and Philip Hunt from Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, pay tribute to their son who has been described as a "passionate" soldier but also claim British soldiers are being treated as "second class" by their lack of equipment.
