inothernews: PROMISE KEPT Mourners consoled each other at the funeral of Pvt. Kevin Elliott near Dundee, Scotland, Tuesday. Pvt. Elliott was killed in an explosion in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, on Aug. 31. Barry Delainey, right, was the soldier’s civilian best friend. They had a pact that when one of them died the other would attend the funeral in a dress. (Photo: David Moir/Reuters via the Wall St. Journal) Makes you wonder if this was the kind of promise made late-night in a fit of drinking that was bittersweet to fulfill.
