Lt Tom Tanswell killed in Iraq
Read this
To look into a soldiers eyes, the window to their soul
Look out from the inside of their mind and see horrors never told
You say we are just killers, its not that plain you see
Take a walk inside my boots, and see what I have seen
Many innocent lives taken, and soldiers there were some
Giving their lives freely to get the job done
The last cold stare of death, we see in our buddies eyes
They fought for all your freedom, this is why we die
Some wonder why we fight to protect the nation, and maybe lose our life
Ask this question to a soldier, the answers in his eyes
Always we will be here waiting, the call we wont deny
We'll always fight for freedom, never asking why
We'll go away to far off lands, leaving our loved ones behind
Many times we are alone, several times inside
Open the windows to our souls, see the tears we hide
Secrets we cannot keep, are in a soldiers eyes

Thank you
He is my brother, my parents and I wish to thank all those who have shown us such support at this most difficult time.
He died leading from the front and doing a job he loved. He was a wonderful brother, son, soldier and friend.
To all those serving in Iraq we send our support and hope you all come home safely soon.
We will not forget,
Kate Tanswell

I knew Tom from When we met at 16. He changed from a young man not knowing where to go in life, to the best person i ever knew with a great meaning to his life. We always promised that our lives should once again meet, when we were 40 and have a beer. I will miss him then. I can truley say that no-one has ever touche dmy life like Tom did. I miss you matey

I knew Tom from Sandhurst. He was a decent and genuine man. I have huge support for the men but absolutely none for the war.
I think that the government should be more supportive of the army.
