Army Demands Killed Soldier Pays Back Holiday Refund
BECAUSE LCpl Jordan Bancroft was shot dead in Helmland province, Afghanistan ten days before the month’s end he was docked pay.
His parents received letter informing them that £433 had been overpaid into his account.
The money had been taken out of a £1,493.04 refund for holiday time off not taken.
The Ministry of Defence has since apologised.
Update: Princess Productions has been alerted and is believed to be using the episode in a pilot for a new comedy show…
