'In the line of duty, helping others he lost his life': British volunteer medic killed in Ukraine

Arabnews24.ca:Thursday 1 September 2022 01:01 AM: A British national has been killed while volunteering as a medic in Ukraine.

Craig Mackintosh's sister Lorna said he had lost his life "in the line of duty".

In a GoFundMe set up to bring his body home she revealed that he had been killed in Ukraine on 24 August.

"Please help us bring this war hero home," Ms Mackintosh wrote.

"Our brother bravely volunteered to go to (Ukraine) as a medic to help save lives in this war torn country.

"In the line of duty, helping others he lost his life. This selfless man is currently stranded in a morgue in Ukraine and there is no help to get him home."

She said it would cost around £4,000 to bring his body back to the UK.
