#1 Ammunition Technical Officer killed in Afghanistan named by MoD as Captain Lisa Jade Head.

Captain Head described by CO of 11 EOD Regiment as "a self-assured, highly effective operator and a well liked leader"

"She is gone but will never be forgotten by her Regiment who I know she was proud to be part of and whom are immensely proud of her."

Capt Mike Kennedy: "Lisa was the bravest most courageous woman I have ever met. She typified the sprit of the Ammunition Technical Officer"

Major Al Brown: "The British Army and the people of Afghanistan have lost an extremely skilled and courageous soldier today, someone dedicated to protecting the lives of others and the world is a poorer place for it."

Liam Fox: "We owe a great debt of gratitude for her bravery...her commitment... for sacrifice she has made to defend our national security."
