Questions are again being asked about the price we're paying in Afghanistan.

26 year old William Bath from Huddersfield is a soldier and is doing a six month tour of duty in Remi in Afghanistan.
The funeral of the first York soldier to die in the war will be held at York Minster tomorrow. Lance Bombardier Hatton, 23, became York’s first victim of the war in Afghanistan when he was killed in a double-explosion in Helmand on August 13.
