A DATE for the repatriation of a soldier killed in Afghanistan last week has not yet been set.

Lance Corporal Jamie Webb, of 1st Battalion, the Mercian Regiment, was wounded in an insurgent attack in Helmand province on Monday last week.

The 24-year-old, from Wilmslow, in Cheshire, died from his wounds at a military hospital in Afghanistan on Tuesday.

Lance Corporal Webb was born in 1988 in Wilmslow, Cheshire. He enlisted in the Army aged 18, and had served in Northern Ireland and Iraq. Hundreds of people line the streets of Oxfordshire to pay their respects during repatriations of fallen service personnel to RAF Brize Norton.
