3Mile, pass on my admiration, and sympathy for mates lost, to Coley for a oustanding job well done and also to the rest of the Unit.
Well done the Brits for an outstanding job in a shithole of a place. You are still the benchmark for others to meet.

An over used word I know but most certainly a hero.

The picture of Sgt Lockett is quite haunting, the eyes demonstrate his demons.

RIP the fallen.

Fair play to the lad. Sounds like incredible stuff going on out there and hope he makes a good recovery.

On another note, am guessing if he is at Henley Court, he was'nt bundled up and dropped outside his local accident and emergency department when returning to the UK. Is this evidence that injured TA are gonna get looked after more now govedrnement have been shamed over treatment of TA (or lack of) ??
