Sergeant Johnson was taking part in operations to recapture the town of Musa Qaleh in Helmand Province when an explosive device detonated - suspected to be a mine - resulting in the death of Sergeant Johnson and inflicting serious injuries to another soldier in the same vehicle.

Lee Johnson started his basic training on 30 July 1990. Upon completion of this he joined the 1st Battalion The Green Howards. He served in Canada, Germany, Belize and the United Kingdom, and deployed to the following theatres: Northern Ireland 5 times, the former Yugoslavia once and twice to Afghanistan.

Sergeant Johnson joined B Company as a new recruit and served virtually his whole career in that company. It was fitting that when recently promoted to the rank of sergeant and appointed Platoon Sergeant, it was in B Company. An accomplished sportsman, he represented the Battalion at boxing and the Army at Judo.

Sergeant Johnson was serving with 2nd Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment as a member of the Operational Mentoring and Liaison Team, tasked with training the Afghan National Army, when he died. xxxxβ—„β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–“β–’β–‘β–‘ x ANGEL LEE β–‘β–‘β–’β–“β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–Ίxxxx

~ You're Living On Within My Heart ~


It’s been while since last we spoke
But how that time has flown
My love for you does not lessen
In fact my love has grown

I’ll keep a part of you with me
And every where I am you’ll be
I’ll keep the promises I made
My love for you will never fade

I know you’re watching over me
Your gentle ways live on
I’ll always feel your tender love
You’re still with me though you’re gone

You’re living on within my heart
A memory strong and pure
I carry deep within my soul
A love that will forever endure

I miss you so, I love you
And know that I’ll see your face
As soon as I pass through the gates
And join you in that heavenly place.

~ Losing A Loved One ~

Although your heart is hurting,
And you feel you can't go on
Know in that very moment
Your loved one wasn't alone

For God was there beside them
Holding onto their hand
As the time drew nearer
For them to leave this land

He held them close and whispered
"My child, your time is now"
"But how will my loved ones go on?"
He whispered, "I will show them how"

"I will give them strength and love"
And comfort in the night,
I will fill their hearts with peace
Knowing you had wings as you took flight

You no longer walk amongst them
For now you fly above
With all my Heavenly angels
Spreading ever lasting and eternal love

all we do is hurt, shrug our shoulders, then we sigh!

I could'nt face the feeling
not seeing you again,
Each and Every day
these thoughts were eating at my brain.
So i went on the internet
and there was a gonetoosoon site
A place for all our Angels to meet
Morning, Noon and Night.
I have made new gonetoosoon Friends
they have become very dear,
they have explained it all to me
how i can keep my Angels near?
It's with Photos and Tributes
a candle lit with a prayer
some verses and some poems
for everyone to share.
I now know the main reason
i came on this gonetoosoon site
Its keeping our Angels Memoery alive
and i know thats got to be alright.

~ Sad And Lonely ~
*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*

Oh ive been sad and lonely
Since you went away
Angels came and took your hand
And led you on your way

*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*

You walked on over rainbows
Through clouds and bright blue skies
And there was nothing i could do
As tears rolled from my eyes

*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*

For each step that was taken
It pulled strings on my heart
For i always did believe
We would never ever part

*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*

I know i wont forget you
For i feel you in my heart
And when we join at Heavens gate
We'll make a brand new start

~ Little White Butterflies ~

Little kisses in the sky,
Tiny little white butterflies,
From our Angels up so high,
To this broken heart of mine.

Telling me that I’ll be fine,
Not to worry, or to cry,
Tiny little white butterflies,
Lets me know that you’re still mine.

A shadow of white
that glows so bright
with a halo Sparkling above,
Yet honest and true
yes Angel its you
who protects and guards us with Love.
Without any sound
you spread all around
and guide us to go the right way,
A whisper in my ear
to say "you'll stay near"
watching over us every Day!

May the morning sun caress you,
The rains of change refresh you,
And the gentle breeze of His Spirit
Lift the wings of your transformation.

~ Free The Butterflies ~



Free the butterflies
I'll be there
to see them soar
upon the air.
Know my spirit
is on the wing,
feel my laughter-
hear me sing.

Forever in your dreams
always in your heart.
