As part of 大象传媒 Music Day, Jeremy Vine talks to the mothers of four soldiers who died in conflict and asks them to share their memories through the music their sons loved to listen to.

Private Michael Tench was described by his superiors as "an outstanding soldier", and was one of the youngest soldiers to die in Iraq when his Warrior patrol vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb on January 21st 2007. He was serving with 2nd Battalion, The Light Infantry, on the outskirts of Basra City.

His mother Janice Procter describes how Tenchy, as he was affectionately known, was an 'army barmy' boy. But his death has left her enraged by the political nature of the war he was killed in. Featuring the music of John Denver, UB40 and Westlife, Janice remembers being Michael's kick-boxing sparring partner, and describes their close relationship: "Where Michael was I was, and where I was Michael was."

Janice takes Jeremy to visit the memorial wall in Mowbray Park, Sunderland, which was built to remember the fallen soldiers of the north east of England. Janice worked with the Brothers In Arms appeal to raise funds to build the wall, and Michael's name is one of the last names to be engraved on it.
