One of the two soldiers who died during SAS selection training in the Brecon Beacons in Powys has been named by the Ministry of Defence as Lance Corporal Craig Roberts.
The 24-year-old from Penrhyn Bay, Conwy, and his fellow reservist died on the hottest day of the year in Wales.

Such a tragedy. RIP.
Heard a radio presenter questioning whether or not the training really needed to be 'this tough'. The answer from the former military man went along the lines of how did she think our soldiers would cope in combat in places like Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, the Falklands etc. without such tough training? Bit of a silly question I reckon.
