Inscription on name plate: "LCPL BJM Hyde Adjutant General's Corps (Royal Military Police) Killed in Action 24th June 2003 Aged 23" Full Name: Benjamin John McGowan Hyde "L/Cpl Ben Hyde was from Northallerton, North Yorkshire. He was 23 and single. He joined the Army in June 2001 and was posted to 156 Provost Company in March 2002, where he served with the Parachute Provost Platoon. A qualified radio operator, he was on his first operational tour of duty when he was killed. "The red beret was all he ever wanted," said his father John. "It was his life, so he gave his life doing the job he loved most. All he ever wanted was to become a military policeman, and he worked very hard to become one. He was very career-minded, with bags of potential, and had been recommended for early promotion." BBC web site
