Funeral for hero soldier killed in Afghanistan - mirror.co.uk: "A SIMPLE wreath reading Hero adorned the coffin at the funeral of a “caring” soldier who was killed by a bomb in Afghanistan.
Warrant Officer Charlie Wood, 34, died on December 28 shortly after defusing a 20kg bomb while clearing a path for colleagues.
His mum and widow fought back tears as his coffin, draped in a Union flag, was carried into St John the Evangelist Church in Middlesbrough by comrades. The procession also passed Middlesbrough FC.
Major Piers Strudwick, officer commanding, C Company 2 Scots, said WO Wood organised Christmas at his patrol base, Nahidullah.
He said: “The delivery of Christmas dinner to soldiers was planned by him and is an example of how he cared for the welfare of soldiers.”"
