Plymouth South Alumnus Missing in Afghanistan:
It has come to our attention that 2006 Plymouth South
Graduate Ben Sherman has been reported missing in Afghanistan. Ben was on a mission
when he went to assist a fellow solder Brendan, who was in a river retrieving
some ammunition that was dropped to them during fighting. He began to struggle
and Ben jumped in to help him. They were both swept down the river. Please keep
Ben and Brendan in your thoughts and prayers.
