Iraq widow receives anniversary card from her husband



The wife of a British soldier killed in Iraq over the weekend said in an interview that she had received a card from him celebrating their wedding anniversary on Tuesday.

Danny John Wilson, 28, from the 2nd Battalion, The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment, died on Sunday after suffering small arms fire while on patrol in the southern Iraqi city of Basra, leaving behind his wife and son.

"I actually got an anniversary card from him today, because obviously the post isn't exactly quick," his wife, Tracey, told ITV News on Tuesday.
