I see the BBC article mentions that a Marine who lost a leg below the knee will be back up the sharp end soon and he wasn't the first. I was in a warm and sandy place earlier this year and there was Brit who'd lost a leg (can't remember if above or below the knee - think it was above) there too. He wore shorts so no-one was in any doubt as to what was going on. I saw him and his mates outside Timmy's and the look on the US Marines faces was priceless. It gave me a very smug feeling, a very proud feeling and a very very humble feeling as he wandered past and the US Marines parted in front of him with their jaws on the floor. Said Brit and pals just carried on. A Canadian with me looked in amazement and I said (feeling very proud/smug/humble) 'Brits; we build em hard and rebuild 'em harder.'
Sir, whoever you are, you have my undying admiration. As do the Gods and Goddesses at Headley
