'Why Did Our Sons Have to Die?' (Short Documentary) | BBC Stories
“They were prepared to put their lives on the line.”
Craig Roberts, Edward Maher and James Dunsby died in the UK armed forces in 2013. Not in war zones, but in training.
The young soldiers were taking part in an elite selection test for the British army's SAS Reserves when they collapsed in the heat.
In 2015, the UK’s Ministry of Defence (MoD) admitted mistakes were made and insisted lessons had been learned.
A year later, it happened again. This time, Corporal Joshua Hoole passed away during a fitness test.
The MoD insists it has taken action to prevent casualties.
Experts and families are warning lives are still at risk.
