"Captain Walter Barrie was playing in a match between British soldiers and members of the Afghan National Army (ANA) at his base on November 11 last year when he was shot at close range in the Nad-e Ali district of Helmand province, the Ministry of Defence said.
Capt Barrie, from Glasgow, had been mentoring and advising a brigade of the ANA to take over security in an area of southern Afghanistan before he was killed in the “green-on-blue” attack.
The 41-year-old, of The Royal Scots Borderers, 1st Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland, had served for 25 years, including tours of Iraq, Bosnia, Kosovo, Northern Ireland and Afghanistan in 2008."
