About this deal

We can hear automatic fire and explosions upstairs. But that’s not our job and we’re not worried. I get to a room on the right. Blast it open and run in looking left and pointing my MP5. I know my partner Tak is jumping into the room pointing right. No, don’t!” said Jonesy. “Just lie still and flat! They’ll run over you! Horses hate stepping on living things!” It wasn’t his day. The chaos caused by the BBC meant that several officers failed to make a vital briefing meeting. BELOW: ANDY JONES WITH A FEW OF THE CHAPS FROM SAS OPERATION NIMROD TO INCLUDE … THE MINK, TAK AND BLUE TEAM LEADER RUSTY FIRMIN.

In March 1951, along with half a dozen other newly badged Glosters, Large was sent to B Company's position in the low hills above the Imjin River. [12] The Glosters, as part of the 29th Brigade, were defending routes through the valley that could potentially be used by the Chinese in a southbound offensive towards Seoul. On 22 April 1951, they engaged with Chinese troops in the Battle of Imjin. [13]Heads and manes tossing, they charged over us, pounding the ground in every direction, filling our senses.

[ permanent dead link] It was a good start to their advance but elsewhere H’s plans were evaporating as fast as a bottle of port in the officers’ mess. Move out! Move out! Away from these buildings on the double!” one of them yelled. “Grab your kit and f****** get out of here!”To him, standing in front of the embassy three decades later, the moment is as clear as if it were yesterday. For this wasn’t insects. It was our lads fixing their bayonets and preparing to advance down the narrow isthmus of land leading to Goose Green.
