Christine Morgan, Margaret Valentine and Rose Gentle have said they will never forgive former PM Tony Blair for the death of their sons

The mothers of heroic Scots soldiers who were killed in Iraq have vowed they will never forgive former PM Tony Blair on the 20th anniversary of the Gulf War.

After his death Christine urged Prime Minister Tony Blair to bring British troops, who were meant to be a peacekeeping force, home. “I do know that he died doing and duty and we’ll be forever proud of him. But he shouldn’t have been sent to Iraq in the first place.” Margaret, 65, said: “He was brave to go to Iraq but he didn’t sign up to the Army to go to war. He was a clever boy and he had seven O levels and five highers and he was mainly thinking about a career, which the Army encouraged young recruits to do.

Motherwell fan Robert, known to his friends as Rab, joined the 35 Engineer Regiment in 2002. He was posthumously awarded two medals from Iraq for Operation Telic One and Three.
