What bit?

That Patrick Hennessey is a "bit of a belter".

I met him in Afghanistan and he came across as a bit of a tool. He felt he could advise the CO of the infantry battalion I was with on tactics based on the way that 'we' would have done it. 'we' being the grenadier guards who he left after four years about two years earlier

Edited, after I read it again...Interesting, why was he out there if he'd left the army?

Yes several years.

I attach a Sepo document, however, a glance over it wouldn't hurt.
