ordnance

A former explosive ordnance specialist who was awarded a Bronze Star during Operation Enduring Freedom, he had developed into a quiet but effective leader.

He had gone out to help with construction work in their village when he stepped on some discarded ordnance.

Landmines and unexploded ordnances left behind from previous conflicts are also an issue.

Mr McCulloch works with humanitarian organisation Norwegian People's Aid and is currently working to clear unexploded ordnance in Iraq.

To do so, it has used bunker-buster missiles and heavy ordnance that has obliterated residential compounds and buildings.
