Exclusive: Deepcut Parents In Appeal Over Daughter's Death
The parents of a young Army recruit who died at Deepcut Barracks have spoken exclusively to Forces TV on the twentieth Anniversary of her death.
Making an emotional appeal for fresh witnesses to come forward, Des and Doreen James say they need to know how their daughter, Private Cheryl James, died in 1995.
She was 18 when she was found with a single gunshot wound to the head.
She was the second of four soldiers to die at the Surrey site in a seven year period.
A fresh inquest will begin next year, but the coroner is trying to find a total of more than 100 witnesses.
This summer the family requested her body be exhumed, in an attempt to gather new evidence about bullet fragments.
They say it's now or never for anyone who was at the Princess Royal Barracks at the same time as Cheryl.
