British soldier Kevin Elliott, heading to Afghanistan, jokingly made a bet with his best friend Barry Delaney. Elliott insisted that if he ever died in battle, Barry would have to wear the ugliest dress he could find to his funeral. Barry of course agreed, though the bet seemed grim but at the same time funny.

While in Afghanistan, Elliott and Barry regularly kept in touch. Although they practically didn`t see each other, their friendship remained as strong as before. Fate is unpredictable and unfortunately Elliott`s prediction came true after three years.
