Former Charlbury resident killed in Iraq

From the Oxford Mail: "An Oxfordshire man has been shot dead in southern Iraq while working for a private security firm. Simon Hall lost his life in what is believed to have been a drive-by attack by terrorists near a customs border point.

"Mr Hall and his family previously lived in Charlbury, but moved several years ago. He was a member of the Charlbury branch of the Royal British Legion whose president Nick Potter said: 'Everyone is in a state of shock about this. His family only just learned about his death on Sunday.'"
