Iraq War
Private Johnson Beharry and Corporal Mark Byles
I was delighted to read today of the public recognition for these two young men doing a dirty and dangerous job in Iraq. Their professionalism under extreme pressure is a credit to themselves and their units, the 1st. and 2nd. Btn The Princess of Wales Royal Regiment (which has now become the most decorated regiment in the British Army.)
The Times Online carries a report on Private Johson Beharry and his citation, he may not be able to return to service following the injuries he suffered on two separate occasions when he saved 30c of his colleagues.
The Shropshire Star carries the story of Corporal Mark Byles who led his men and took out a trench of enemies when outnumbered three to one!
