Corporal Lee, then 19 and a guardsman collapsed right after completing a 8km fast march.

1. Should it be “8-km” (hyphenated) instead?

2. Should there be a comma after "guardsman"?

Thanks!

Hello Koh Yooong Liat:

Corporal Lee, then 19 and a guardsman, collapsed right after completing a 8km fast march.

This would be correct - include the comma, no hyphen.

Good luck with your writing endeavours. ~ Kayley
