Faye's devotion to daughter
Faye Turney spoke of her love for her three-year-old daughter just hours before being captured, it has been revealed.
Mrs Turney is the only woman among 15 British sailors and marines captured last Friday off the coast of Iraq.
In an interview, hours before she was captured, Mrs Turney spoke of her feelings for her daughter Molly and her devotion to her job.
She said: "She's getting more of a character each day. It's a shame I'm missing that but she's a top girl and will grow up to be a very reliable, independent, strong young woman, which is exactly what I want for her."
Mrs Turney described the youngster, who is being cared for by her husband Adam, a Petty Officer in the Royal Navy in Plymouth, as "an absolute gem".
Mr and Mrs Turney were married in 2002 at her family's local church in Oxon, Shrewsbury. Their daughter was also christened at the church. Mrs Turney's mother and father - former Shrewsbury Town player Alan Boswell - are both members of the church.
Mrs Turney, 26, also spoke of the risks of serving in the Royal Navy.
She said: "My parents made sure that I was under no illusions that I could and can go to war at any time - that was the choice I made.
"It can be a bit like a cruise sometimes, being in the Navy, but you've got to have it in the back of your head that sometimes you may be called upon, and when you do you've just got to deal with it and get on with it."
