Allan Arnold and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

British soldier, Rifleman Allan Arnold, age 20, was found dead on May 2, 2011, in England.

Allan was with the 2nd Battalion The Rifles in the U.K. Army.

Angels of God,
pray for Allan
He had hung himself, just hours after he had been socializing with friends while on leave. 

He was unable to cope with the loss and the tragedy of seeing 5 of his comrades killed in action in Afghanistan.

Allan is survived by many loving relatives and friends, including his fiance, Shenice Knight. 

Family members described Allan as being an amazing brother, an amazing son to his mother and an amazing soldier.

Family members and friends all stated that they wished that Allan had discussed his stress and depression with them, so that they could have helped him in some way to cope with his feelings. 

Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Allan Arnold is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.
