Soldier shown abusing Iraqis a ‘war hero’

A BRITISH soldier who was photographed abusing Iraqi prisoners was described as a war hero who was only following orders at his court martial yesterday.

Solicitor Joseph Giret said Corporal David Kenyon was “an outstanding soldier”.

“He has a blemish-free record. He has been described as a war hero as he was responsible for saving the lives of several of his colleagues.”
