The wife of Marine A said the most significant decision was for her husband was to be dismissed without disgrace.

Claire Blackman told 5 live: 鈥淭he most significant decision for us yesterday was that he was dismissed, not dismissed with disgrace, that was the hardest part of the original sentence to bear.鈥�

鈥淗e maintains his Sergeants rank and a dismissal means, should he wish to, he could re-apply to rejoin the royal marines.鈥�

Sergeant Alexander Blackman has been in prison for three and a half years for the murder of a wounded Taliban fighter.

His original conviction for murder was reduced to manslaughter after a high profile campaign.

He has now been sentenced on a lesser charge and because of time already served it is thought he will be released shortly.
