BRITISH soldier who died after his armoured truck hit a landmine in Afghanistan on Wednesday has been named as Lance Corporal Stephen McKee.

And it has emerged that his younger brother, Michael, who serves in the same regiment, was among those who rushed to help as he lay dying in Nad-e Ali, Helmand province.

L/Cpl McKee, 27, and wife Carley from Banbridge, Co Down, lost their two-day-old daughter last year. In a tribute to her husband, Mrs McKee said: “You will always be my hero and every step I take in life I will have my two angels looking after me.”
