 'Go and have a good time': Soldier killed by Taliban bomb leaves £100,000 to send 32 mates on trip to Las Vegas 
 
 Hero: Royal Marine David Hart was killed by a Taliban bomb while on patrol in Helmand 
 
 A Royal Marine who was killed serving in Afghanistan left £100,000 in his will to send 32 friends on the holiday of a lifetime to Las Vegas. His friend Andy Hare, 25, told the Sun newspaper: 'He loved going away with his mates - it was always the best two weeks of the year. 'In his letter David said he had had a great life and had no regrets about anything. He always said he would do something like this if something bad happened. 'He said, 'Go and have a good time and spend all this money'. All the lads said, 'What a guy'.' Hart, 23, also reportedly stipulated that $80,000 would go toward a charity group of injured Marines, while his family will also receive $160,000. "Since his death, all of his friends have been round to see us," father Chris is quoted as saying. Generous: David, who had taken out a £250,000 life insurance policy before he was deployed, stipulated that in the event of his death, his friends should travel to Las Vegas 
 
 As well as sending his mates to Vegas he left £50,000 to his favourite charity for injured Marines as well as a sum to his family 
 
 'It's nice they have been there to support us.' Chris, Sarah and David's pals are embarking on a 170 mile charity cycle ride in September to raise cash for the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund.
– A British marine killed in Afghanistan left 32 of his closest friends a hefty parting gift: $150,000 for a Las Vegas vacation, reports the Huffington Post. Before David Hart left for duty, he took out a life insurance policy for roughly $400,000, and gave strict instructions that a portion of that money should send his friends and their girlfriends to Sin City, saying ‘Go and have a good time and spend all this money.” Hart was a big fan of holidays himself, a friend remembers, saying their "lad's holidays" were “always the best two weeks of the year.” The remainder of his policy will go to charity for injured Marines, and to his family, who isn’t at all put off by their late son’s support for a good time. Hart, described by his fellow officers as ‘the perfect Marine,’ was killed in Afghanistan after a Taliban bomb explosion, on the day before his 24th birthday, reports the Daily Mail.
