A Guardian Article You Should Read...
Not my favourite newspaper but, if you only read one article from the above publication this year, this should be it:
Bloody reality: David Cotterrell's diary and photographs are a harrowing reminder of the cost of war | World news | The Guardian
Humbling, truly humbling.

I have a list of papers i read online, and the Guardian has now become one of them. Know your enemy! Great article, and all the better for jorno admitting his gut feelings/
In the jobs section last week was an advert for the position of "Black Rod"

An excellently written article that gets the point across....Brit troops etc are risking their lives and limbs daily. And it is mostly forgotten on the 'home front'

A very thoughtful and well written article.
It is a sad truth that in todays society stories like this aren't given half the attention as some has been celebrity bounding around a television set. But then that wouldnt sell papers would it?!
My thoughts go to all those British service/ civilian personnel currently on ops wherever they be in the world.

Well written. It kept making me think of the TV series MASH, not the humorous bits but the surges of activity when the casualties arrived. The medical staff deserve as much credit for doing a very tough job as everyone else out there.

A well written piece, which I hope provoked some thought amongst the civilian population for the outstanding work being carried out in theatre, by all professions.

Agreed - a well written piece and very candid.
I would love to see this man follow up the work in Selly Oak and Headley Court so we get the whole story
