Beneficiaries

Kirianne Curley's husband, Royal Marine Corporal Stephen Curley of 40 Commando, was killed in an IED explosion whilst on foot patrol in Afghanistan in May 2010. He was 26 years old. At the time of his death, the couple's son was just a few weeks old.

Mrs Curley is using the Legion's Independent Inquest Advice service to help her through the inquest into her husband's death.
