Trooper James Munday was Killed in a blast in Helmand Province, Afghanistan on Wednesday 15th
October 2008, during a routine patrol, shortly before his Tour of Duty was due to end.
James had joined the Army on 9 February 2005 and was known as "Magpie" by his colleagues
James, who was from Birmingham had served alongside Prince William in D Squadron of The Household
Cavalry. He had also previously served alongside Prince Harry in the same regiment.
In a statement, Clarence House have said both princes were "deeply saddened" by his passing and have
called him an "exceptional soldier. Together with the rest of their regiment, the two Princes'
heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends at this most distressing of times."
James was a keen sportsman, being an enthusiastic horseman and expert downhill skier.
He will be sorely missed by his parents, friends and all those that had served in the Line Of Duty
with him.

For All Those Who Paid The Ultimate Sacrifice, And Never Returned Home. And The Injured Soldiers That Have To Live With The Lasting Effects Of War.
THE FINAL INSPECTION
The soldier stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, you soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
The soldier squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't.
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough.
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep...
Though I worked a lot of overtime,
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place,
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around,
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand.
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod.
As the soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you soldier,
You've borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."
