Tributes paid to soldier killed during journalist rescue
11.09.09
Tributes have been paid to a soldier killed during the rescue of a journalist
kidnapped in Afghanistan.
Corporal John Harrison, 29, from the Parachute Regiment, was described as "a
wonderful son, brother and a dedicated soldier" by his family.
He died in a daring pre-dawn operation on Wednesday to rescue Stephen Farrell,
a reporter with the New York Times.
Mr Farrell, who holds dual British and Irish citizenship, was successfully
released during the raid but his Afghan interpreter Sultan Munadi also died.
Cpl Harrison's family said: "We are absolutely heartbroken.
"John was a wonderful son, brother and a dedicated soldier who was greatly
loved and cherished by all his family and friends."
His commanding officer, whose name was not released by the Ministry of Defence
due to the special forces role of the unit, described him as "a tower of
strength" and "a remarkable man".
He said: "Cpl John Harrison was an immensely capable, self- effacing and highly
likeable soldier with an irrepressible humour.
"His hallmark was an undemonstrative, yet profound, professionalism; he cared
deeply about his work, and more deeply still about those he commanded and
served alongside.
"He was an unflinching and inspirational man with a deep, deep pool of courage,
who died as he lived - at the forefront of his men.
"He gave his life for his comrades and the Parachute Regiment, both of which
meant so much to him.
"Although his passing is a sad day for us, every member of the unit counts
themselves privileged to have known such a tower of strength and we all are
deeply honoured to have served alongside him.
"Our thoughts and prayers now turn to his family and friends at this most
difficult time.
"We hope that in the midst of their profound loss, they can draw strength from
the fond memories that we all share of this remarkable man."
Defence Secretary Bob Ainsworth said: "Cpl John Harrison put his life on the
line to rescue others.
"He made the ultimate sacrifice and acted heroically in the face of great
danger, in the best tradition of the British Armed Forces and in full knowledge
of the risks he faced.
"My thoughts are with his family, friends and comrades at this difficult time."
After the death was announced yesterday, Prime Minister Gordon Brown said Cpl
Harrison had died "while acting with the greatest of courage in this most
dangerous mission".
Mr Brown added: "His bravery will not be forgotten."
