Sergeant Johnson and inflicting serious injuries to another soldier in the same vehicle.

Sergeant Lee Johnson

Lee Johnson was born on 7 June 1974 in Stockton-on-Tees and 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.

My Wish ♥ღ♥

When you are lonely,
I wish you love.

When you are down,
I wish you joy.

When you are troubled,
I wish you peace.

When things are complicated,
I wish you simple beauty.

When things are chaotic,
I wish you inner silence.

When things are empty,
I wish you hope.

When you need your Angel,
I wish you faith...to know they are with you...always.

An Angel loved so dear ♥ღ♥

There is always a face before me,
A voice I would love to hear,
A smile I will always remember,
Of an Angel I love so dear.
Deep in my heart lies a picture,
More precious than silver or gold,
It's a picture of my Angel,
Whose memory will never grow old.
