Of Gwero, Rhodesia. http://www.lastingtribute.co.uk/tribute/muzvuru/2630973. Christopher Muzvuru, hailing from Gweru, Zimbabwe, joined the British Army in February 2001, and served as a Piper with the 1st Battalion, Irish Guards and, like Sholto Hedenskog, was killed during the early part of the invasion of Iraq by coalition forces, falling victim to a sniper in Basra, on the 6 April 2003. Just 20 years-of-age, Muzvuru was the first black piper in the history of the Irish Guards. Piper Muzvuru's remains were subsequently repatriated back to England. He was given a military funeral at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire. In his native Zimbabwe, however, he was called a "traitor" by the state-controlled media. He was therefore buried in Gweru in an unmarked grave to prevent desecration of his grave.
