I bumped into Scott by rare chance a few weeks before he deployed and it was great to see another who has served in the armed forces so keen to uphold his duty despite the danger to himself, but in the ultimate knowledge that what we fight for is enduring peace. I would have liked to have shown my respects but unfortunately I was serving time for Her Majesty in a wholely less noble fashion at HMP Chelmsford. My thoughts are with your family and freinds and of those who are still serving in conflicts and hostile fronts around the world.

Type your memory here...Older...
Type your memory here...Older than most when he joined up, Lance Corporal Hardy was one of the rocks that 3 Platoon relied upon. He joined the Company half way through Op HERRICK 6 in 2007 and stayed with the 'Fighting Ninth' until he died. Due to go on his Section Commanders' Battle Course on return to the UK, he was undoubtedly going to achieve a strong pass - he was a good leader, a man that I trusted. Perhaps most impressive was the way he motivated his men. He had a perfect balance of stick and carrot, which was ironic as he had the most striking 'carrot-top' hair. He was a huge West Ham fan and loved football. Always smiling, always ready with a joke, he was one of those larger than life characters who was always looking for the next thing to take the mickey out of. 3 Platoon mourns his loss and he leaves a correspondingly huge hole in the Platoon. Our thoughts are with his family and his girlfriend Charlene. -- Lieutenant Simon Broomfield
Lance Corporal Scott Hardy...
Lance Corporal Scott Hardy was a larger than life character with a great sense of humour but beside this he was a thoroughly professional JNCO. He relished the challenges that came with the role of a light role Infantry Section Commander on Operations. Whether he was engaging with the local nationals or taking the fight to the enemy, his first thought were always for his men and they respected him accordingly. With his previous Operational experience in Afghanistan in 2007 and with his current performance this year he had really shown his full potential and was highlighted as a real star of the future. Snatched from us at the prime of his life, he will be missed by all who knew him. Our thoughts are with his family, girlfriend and friends at this very difficult time. He has left a hole in our ranks, but I know that he would want A (Norfolk) Company to keep continuing with our mission in Afghanistan. He was and always will be a true Viking. -- Major Stuart Smith
Scott, I didn't know...
Scott, I didn't know you supremely well at school but learning of the tremendous efforts you've gone to to serve your country since makes me proud to have even known you just a little. I'm sure the rest of Boswells School, and Chelmsford in general, appreciate your endeavours. Rest in peace.
God bless you Scott...
God bless you Scott Hardy.
I never new you but you have given your all and paid a hard price. RIP - We will never forget what you have given.
Whatever else we fail to do, We never fail to think of you.
