L/Cpl Tasker was the 358th serviceman killed in the conflict, his dog Theo was the sixth British military hound to die in action in Iraq and AfghanistanIn life, they were united in their tireless work saving countless British soldiers in Afghanistan.
In death, they were united in tragedy.The pair had uncovered 14 home-made bombs and hoards of weapons in just five months – a record for a dog and his handler in the conflict.
Only last month he described his joy at the close bond he had developed with Theo, a 22-month-old springer spaniel cross.‘I love my job and working together with Theo. He has a great character and never tires,’ he said in an interview on the Ministry of Defence website.
‘He can’t wait to get out and do his job and will stop at nothing.’Theo and L/Cpl Tasker, an Arms and Explosives Search dog handler of the Royal Army Veterinary Corps, 1st Military Working Dog Regiment, were part of the Theatre Military Working Dogs Support Unit based at Camp Bastion.
On Tuesday they took part in a mission in the Nahr-e Saraj district in Helmand, a hotbed of the insurgency. Theo’s task was to be the ‘front man’, sniffing out any hidden IEDs, weapons and bomb-making equipment.
But a firefight broke out with the Taliban and L/Cpl Tasker was shot dead. Shortly after Lance Corporal Liam Tasker was killed, his devoted Army search dog Theo suffered a seizure and passed away too.Theo is thought to have died of a broken heart.The soldier, from Kirkcaldy, Fife, leaves behind mother Jane Duffy, father Ian Tasker, brother Ian, sisters Laura and Nicola and girlfriend Leah Walters
