Former British Soldier Dies in Car Crash in Ukraine

He had gone to the war-torn country to help refugees and train Ukrainian fighters to use military equipment sent from the UK.

He was due to get married and his family has launched an appeal to raise funds for his repatriation.

His fiancée Louise Lathbury said he died instantly in the crash and his family is hoping to raise £15,000 for the repatriation of his body.

Thorn's family is also hoping to donate any leftover funds to another family attempting to repatriate a loved one and to an animal charity.
