Soldiers die in Brecon Beacons

[Kirk]

One of the two soldiers who died during SAS selection training in the Brecon Beacons in Powys has been named by the Ministry of Defence as Lance Corporal Craig Roberts.

The 24-year-old from Penrhyn Bay, Conwy, and his fellow reservist died on the hottest day of the year in Wales.

A third soldier is seriously ill after the incident thought to have involved six soldiers collapsing.

R.I.P lads.

Quite unfortunate really, especially as they had training in what I would imagine would be worse environmental conditions.

It's the plot of Dog Soldiers coming true.

I understand that this is part of the selection for SAS soldiers.
But the ones running the course tend to adjust the hardship in inclement weather. It seems they may have got it wrong this time?
