A member of the UK armed forces who died in Ukraine has been named as Lance Corporal George Hooley of the Parachute Regiment. L/Cpl Hooley had an "incredibly bright" future, his commanding officer said in a tribute on Wednesday. The Parachute Regiment is an airborne infantry regiment of the British Army. It has not been confirmed in which battalion L/Cpl Hooley served. The Parachute Regiment said it was mourning the death of the 28-year-old, who joined the British Army in November 2015.
