This week on Curious Orange (the radio show)…
It’s the fourth - and last - part in our Dutch in Afghanistan series: When the going gets tough.
In our last days in Afghanistan, a rocket attack killed one soldier and wounded 6 others. We’ll hear more about that from a soldier’s perspective - how they deal with the death of a colleague… and what happens when they don’t.
We’ll also hear from the soldiers who prepare the bodies and the social worker who’s job it is to tell the families back home what’s happened.
Finally, we’ll hear from one Dutch family who lost their son in Afghanistan.
Listen to the whole show here.
Read more and hear audio about Adzin Chadli, the soldier who died while we were in Afghanistan, and the reaction of some of this colleagues here and here.
You can read about - and listen to a longer interview with - the girls who work in the mortuary here.
And check back for longer interviews with two social workers, and the Smeehuizen family, who lost their son in Afghanistan in 2007.
