    Colonel Richard Kemp, a former commander of British troops in
    Afghanistan, said: “This is the sort of tragic story we sometimes hear
    about a friendless pensioner who dies alone.

    “I have never before heard or experienced anything remotely like it
    about a serving member of the Armed Forces on a military base.

    “The Army is usually scrupulous about accounting for every individual,
    and there is a well known military aphorism ‘no man left behind’. It
    seems like this man was left behind, and this very sad affair can only
    be due to a number of leaders failing to do their jobs.”
