|title=Always By My Side: Losing the love of my life and the fight to honour his memory
|rating=2.5
|genre=Biography
|summary=On Halloween 2009 bomb disposal expert Olaf (Oz) Schmid became another mortality statistic from the conflict in Afghanistan. Many people enjoy magazines like ''Hello'' who will absorb the stories of Oz's early years, how he met Christina, the family holidays, stories about both sets of parents etc. But for me, this is like looking at someone else's personal photo album; even if you have a connection with the album's owner, after a while it becomes boring and lacks meaning. Although I wouldn't have had half the inner strength and courage that Christina showed after the death of a soul mate, the emphasis of ''Always By My Side'' is out of kilter, the descriptions of life in Afghanistan and the subsequent campaign being almost lost in the family detail.
