Royal Marine Killed in Afghanistan Leaves Friends $160G for Las Vegas Party

A ROYAL Marine killed by a Taliban bomb left £100,000 to send all his mates to Las Vegas.

David Hart, 23, took out life insurance before he went to Afghanistan.

And he wrote a letter saying a chunk of the £250,000 policy proceeds should pay for his pals and their girlfriends to go on a party trip in his memory if he died.

Now 32 friends are jetting to the US - a year after David died in the Helmand danger spot of Sangin.  More at link...
