The body of a Pembrokeshire soldier killed by a rogue Afghan policeman is due to be repatriated today (Tuesday).

Corporal Nicholas Webster-Smith, aged 24, died last Tuesday, along with four other soldiers, when a policeman he was training turned rogue and opened fire.

Corporal Webster-Smith, popularly know as Nick, was a member of the Royal Military police.

He grew up in Pembrokeshire, living first in Ludchurch and then in Saundersfoot. He attended Greenhill School, Tenby, where he took his A-levels.

He then worked as a football coach for Pembrokeshire County Council for a year, training youngsters in soccer schools and after school clubs.

Corporal Webster-Smith joined the Military Police in 2005. He served in Kosovo and the Falkland Islands. This was his second deployment in Afghanistan.
