Martin Beard is my Brother, just turned 20 years old. Last September he passed out from RAF Honnington as a Gunner. He loved being part of a large family whether it was blood famly or the RAF family. on 7th August 07 he was shot dead during a gun battle in Basra, Iraq. He was loyal, happy with a wicked sense of humour. He quietly loved being centre of attention. Luckily we had the huge pleasure of Martin coming home from Iraq in May to give me away at my Wedding. He will be dearly missed, rest in peace. PER ARDUA
