A former Cheshire soldier was shot dead fighting against Putin's army on the front line in Ukraine, his heartbroken family have said.
Jordan Gatley, from the village of Church Minshull, was described as "truly a hero" by his dad Dean, who said he was told on Friday that his son was killed in the city of Severodonetsk. Dean said Jordan, who left the British Army in March, joined the fight against Russia's invasion of Ukraine "after careful consideration." But tragically he was said to have been shot and killed in the war-torn nation last week, reports Cheshire Live.
In a Facebook post, Dean hailed his son a hero, saying: "I didn’t think that I'd ever use social media in this way but Sally, Adam and I would like to share some family news with all our friends, but there are just too many people to contact. We received the devastating news that our son, Jordan, has been shot and killed in the city of Severodonetsk, Ukraine. Jordan left the British Army in March this year to continue his career as a soldier in other areas.
