This the Colchester Town Hall flag flying at half mast for the 2 Colchester based troops killed this week in Afghanistan(http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7475130.stm)

Channel 4 did a dreadul documentary about ten years ago called Soldier Town , it would be interesting if they did a follow up, I hope it would now show my town and the local garrison in a much more positive light! I used to be quite embarrased to say I lived here because of that tv programme!
