Ukrainian commandos sent an inexperienced British fighter on a 'suicide mission' before leaving his body to rot in no-man’s-land, his heartbroken mother has claimed.
Colby Dolman, 20, was killed when his unit was cut down by Russian fire as they joined forces aiming to liberate the village of Mali Scherbaky in Zaporizhia Oblast, south east Ukraine.
The former carpenter, from Cleethorpes, Lincs, had been in Ukraine just over a year when he was sent on a number of abortive missions alongside more experienced soldiers in an offensive mounted by the National Guard of Ukraine.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, his mother, Tara Benford, 37, said: 'He should never have been sent out, he did not have the experience or the training, it was a suicide mission.
'He was one of four young men who died side by side and they have been left to rot on the battlefield, as far as we are aware he is where he fell more than a month ago.
