Prince Harry unveils British memorial to victims of Tunisian attacks
Britain’s Prince Harry unveiled a memorial on Monday to the victims of two deadly attacks in Tunisia four years ago.
A gunman killed 30 Britons and eight others in a rampage at the beach resort of Sousse in June 2015, while another Briton was among the 21 victims when militants stormed Tunisia’s national museum three months earlier.
“In memory of all those who lost their lives, and to the families whose lives were changed forever by these events, I would like to pay my deepest respects to you and officially dedicate this memorial to your loved ones,” Harry said.
More than 6,000 members of the British armed forces have been seriously injured or scarred in recent conflicts, according to the prince’s office.
Harry, who served in armed forces for a decade including two tours of Afghanistan, heard about techniques the center used and the psychological treatments wounded veterans were given to help them cope with life with a scarred appearance.
