I'm American, but this video gave me chills. The SAS are some of the most elite soldiers on this planet. And I'm certainly glad they are allies of ours 🇺🇸 🇬🇧
Joshua Beheler I wish there were more interviews of seals or US special forces talking about joint operations with UKSF and what they thought of them. Obviously because SAS and SBS are very secretive so we have no idea what goes on
Yeah in otter. At first I was disappointed that they gave him a pink hoodie and since his my favorite operator I was disappointed they didn’t gave him cool outfits in the battle passes, but, now that I’ve seen this video I’ll be using that pink outfit
Thought I recognised him in game from this vid didn’t know if it was intentional or coincidence. Might have to fork out for some cod points and buy him
Reza Alfarizi Arsyad Otter, if I remember correctly his skin is called “Safehouse.” That being said it’s not completely accurate, the balaclava is a different color and his shirt is a really annoying pink
Every time I watch this video, it fills me with immense pride to be able to say that this man is British. He has done more for the UK's international reputation than any of our politicians could ever hope to do. He has personified the image of The Regiment and he embodies all that is good in this World. Courage, Bravery and selfless dedication to save the lives of so many people on what could have been their last day on Earth.
And not a single British official did so much as thank him. The only political figure to personally say thank you was Donald Trump. Still proud to be British? I’m not.
@BestJob IveEverHad the mark of a true hero is an unknown one.. the guy is a legend, as all special forces "especially" the SAS are!! Along with what they have to do, live thru and see what they see. They can become casualties also. Bless them all and the guy in this video ultimate professional warrior
@Astuteous Maximus uh excuse me ? A little salt ? Act your age mate first of all I never said that the SAS is not good . Second because they are so damn good that's exactly why everything they do they keep it in the shadows . Always in the shadows . If you want to play the smartass at least get your facts straight mate . And don't start that toxicity over nothing . I just said my opinion ( nope ) and you go " oh you salty-accept they are gods " ok man they are:) only them man no-one else . No devgru no Russian SSO no one . Only the SAS man .
@Astuteous Maximus The thing is I never said I don't like the SAS in fact I really like then and respect them as all the other SF in the world Every country has their own tier 1 u can't just compare them like you are doing right now. Here u are talking about Hollywood stuff .. If you want to get it there then talk about all the American movies made about Seals don't bring the Russians up to Hollywood we all know the Russians are always the bad/traitors/weak in Hollywood movies:) fun fact that their moto is really against traitors and being bad and weak . The other thing now . No I'm not talking about Alpha team or Vympel or any of the FSB teams . Those guys are sure beasts but they are not SSO(SOF) Russian SSO is a whole different level compare to Alpha team ( or any other FSB-FSO Team) As for the SAS as I said before search a little bit more about them then you'll understand what I mean . There's 0.03% of their operations/missions that you really can see that it's the SAS those glorious beasts keep everything in the shadows and that's one thing that make them be so good at their job . And I'm telling you this again you said salt and whatever you said so please :) don't need to be like that we all can be like that trust me . ( sorry for the bad English tho I try my best to be understand)

+Trevor Johnston My uncle was a SAS sergeant. I managed to play Call of duty Modern warfare 2 on the hardest level without dying, AND I can run 10 km under 37 min. My uncle told me I would make it through a SAS selection and the training without a doubt! It feels good! Now I dont need to try for real,
They're still SOF, and SOF can generally have whatever small arms they choose. The KDF, while professional and relatively well equipped for an armed service of their size and military budget, do not widely issue this rifle and the majority of their forces use a mixture of older G3 variants, and American M4 rifles.
i lived in Kenya and the Kenya army train based on the british army and are very good . Their soldiers are brave and very capable. The SAS are a different matter all together however... they are the best in the world, my father was ex SAS and we never even knew he was until he died and a whole load of SAS guys turned up at his funeral! SAS reign supreme, they arr exceptionally brave and strangely humble as well.... Just never make the mistake of thinking humble is fear and take one on!!! Oh one more thing my father had some Ghurka in his regiment and he reckoned they were awesome soldiers... Though again I never knew they must also have been SAS!
thats why we raised regiments of ghurkas before the Nepalese wars were over!!! both mine and my wife's grandfathers fought alongside the ghurkas in Burma, and the admiration for these warriors never left them.
Its like a honor for them to be selected for the british army its a big deal for them train when there realy young ......if you need a trench or bunker cleard send the gurkas in brutal get the job done
Typical of British special forces. Guy was on a joint training exercise and got stuck in. Man: there are Islamic extremists that have taken hostages in a local building. SAS trooper: Hold my tea
John Storm It does me mate. I’m former Royal Marine Commandos myself (1997 - 2015) and this bloke has summed up our special forces with his actions. Definitely makes me proud.
Being British 🇬🇧 and ex-army myself, Iv never been more proud of our SAS living legends. This video actually made me cry with how brave he was on that day, also showing why our special forces are a cut above the rest👍🏼
He did what he did because he wanted to, no praise, no bragging just glad to help. No matter what the cost to himself. The word hero is used too often and I'm sure he would not want that tagged to him. God bless that man.
This guy is incredible, one man... one man. He activates his training, works with people he doesn't know, put's his life at risk repeatedly and gets the job done. As an Australian, I'm thankful we have the Brits, Canadian and Americans by our sides. It's actually unfair to our enemies how lethal this combination is....
You to mate...I served with US..Brits...never had a field chance with Anzaks...CDN here...we would kick each others ass in a bar...then get drunk together after. You had to prove yourself with tough boys becoming men.

When fellow Scot Sir David Stirling came up with the idea of an SAS whilst recuperating on his hospital bed, I wonder had he envisioned his “Hit and run” teams going in like this, literally running singlehandedly, against whatever odds and coming out on top. This man is a credit to humankind, no frills, no book deals, no kudos and no matter...jobs a good un, lives saved, all the thanks he’ll ever need!
Very respectful video on this tragedy. Respect to the SAS man machine. Obviously he and the Kenyans knew he had the superior training, but to actually step up and apply it is amazing.
Thank you for covering this. Not enough videos highlighting what this man did for a country not even his own. He truly displays the type of action men should hope to exemplify. I can only hope one day I can emulate a fraction of his bravery.
No one’s covering this because it doesn’t contribute to global instability and finger-pointing. It’s a British guy on vacation at the right time in the right place. Saving Africans… that doesn’t help promote the race war.
Proper solid lads, honestly better than any other special forces on the globe. It's mad to know how one special forces operator has the minerals to step up to such a horrific event.
His willingness to go forth and place himself between the enemy and strangers is absolutely awe inspiring. I hope this man is well today, we may not know his identity for years to come but I'd love to buy this man a beer and listen to a story or two.
there is no team work on the video! vice versa ! the actions of the special forces are scattered! a British specialist generally runs around, you’ll understand where))) one. to work alone in such an environment is a disregard for the lives of the hostages! well, and his own) I think he was under some kind of substance)))) taking out the hostages - he didn’t even look in the direction of dangerat all!
Bloody hell, talk.about cool under fire, this guy is one brave man who went way beyond the call of duty going back time and time and to rescue the people trapped inside. Respect.
Quiet efficiency, courage and resilience. Able to work on his own and yet inspire an army. Hallmarks of the SAS. Incredible to watch and a true lesson in leadership. Brilliant.
I'm from Glasgow so I have seen a lot of hard men but this guy is a hero, very brave and as a British citizen I am very grateful we have the best trained armed forces in the world.
If you are an indigenous Scot you are not a Citizen you are a Subject of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II please learn the difference. Many of our military brethren died defending these Islands from people like Napoleon and Hitler.
I’m from Glasgow served in the Scottish regiments I had 2 mates who done SAS selection both went to 22 were all now retired I see them at george square every year only our regiment no who they are in the parade they wear there old regiments glen garry but we all no they can wear the famous berry
like I said his name is Chris Ryan, check out the video BRAVO TWO ZERO, or check out the tv show called HUNTING CHRIS RYAN. Soldiersaint thanks for the very kind comments towards the SAS.
Amazing courage and work! Small correction, the rifle he was carrying was the newest L119A2 that the SAS received as a modernization program of the SAS weaponry, this rifle didn't prove itself to be all that much better from the previous model mentioned in the video (L119A1), they had a 23 million pound contract with Colt Canada who produces these weapons and soldiers are still asked the last about their opinion, kind of ironic isn't it?
My neighbour was SAS, all along he promised his wife that when he was due for retirement he was leaving the army. On retirement he duly left the SAS and joined the Australian SAS as a trainer within a couple of weeks. A great guy but I think his wife was more than a little bit annoyed.
Nah seals are silent anymore like elite units, guys want to be Seals now cause they want to be hot shots in eyes of public, Seal movies and being public got a huge boost in people wanting to tryout to be seals, old generation Seals don’t even like the new
@LaPugsley Go read: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Air_Service#Influence_on_other_special_forces en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1st_Marine_Infantry_Paratroopers_Regimenten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacred_Band_(World_War_II)en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5th_Special_Air_Service As for the SBS having a shared heritage, yes in the way that they were two special forces raised during WW2 but not really. Roger Courtney and David Stirling didn't know each other, just like they didn't know Orde Wingate. And Delta was founded by Charles Beckwith, who was seconded to the SAS and wanted to form an SAS style special force in the US Army. And SBS being the first special forces? Nope, not at all.
I reminded of the Spartans. When another city state asked Sparta for military aid one Spartan Hoplite would be sent. This served as an insult and a warning. The insult was to the state asking for help, one Spartan is all the help you need and the warning was to their enemy, one Spartan is all it takes to defeat you. This SAS Trooper is the one Spartan without the insult to the Kenyans...
Brave man. He helped save many people. Proud of his efforts and dedication in the midst of a catastrophe. May he have a long, healthy life filled with happiness and fulfillment
It said at the end of the video that he was also nominated for a George Cross. This is a British award for gallantry in the face of extreme danger, but not in enemy presence. I'm assuming this is because the incident wasn't during a war. But he more than earned it.
I think he deserves a Victoria Cross. He had no real requirement to engage the terrorists. He was there as an advisor. He did more than advise, he led. He put his life on the line for a foreign country and a people that weren't his own. By that I mean they weren't United Kingdom citizens. He didn't care who they were. He did care that there was an enemy out there that needed to be neutralized. God love him and protect him fall the rest of his days. No Greater Love does a man have than to give his life in defense of another. While this Brave Soldier did not have to give his life he more than willingly accepted that he may have to to save others.
@RobbingHoodUK the V.C, Is reserved for acts of exceptional Gallantry , whilst involved in a Military Incident. This was not the case here. A George Cross (which he duly, and deservedly received) is the Highest Award (considered equal, to the V.C.) That would/was awarded to a "none military action. I do not agree with the distinction, but i,m an old Brit, who doesn't have a say. WELL DONE! that man!
Impressive work getting so many people out of there safely. Great to see soldiers from different backgrounds and nations working together to achieve the best outcome. Team work makes the dream work.

+Trevor Johnston My uncle was a SAS sergeant. I managed to play Call of duty Modern warfare 2 on the hardest level without dying, AND I can run 10 km under 37 min. My uncle told me I would make it through a SAS selection and the training without a doubt! It feels good! Now I dont need to try for real,
@@strikerorwell9232 you should try I think it's a bit different to x box pal
@@strikerorwell9232 PROUD of your uncle tho pal
Kenya's army looks well equipped, SCAR H is not a cheap weapon to be sure.
They're still SOF, and SOF can generally have whatever small arms they choose. The KDF, while professional and relatively well equipped for an armed service of their size and military budget, do not widely issue this rifle and the majority of their forces use a mixture of older G3 variants, and American M4 rifles.
Cream Puff but they dont even know how to use it
@@teamorbz4463 we know how to use it
@@teamorbz4463 you're underestimating them. That's how Blackhawks go down and the plan goes awol, man.
Edu Wino the SAS operator did more than the entire battalion of the kenyan SF
Damn dude’s a beast. He ensures the safety of others by putting his on the line. Infinite respect for everyone involved in the rescue.
i lived in Kenya and the Kenya army train based on the british army and are very good . Their soldiers are brave and very capable. The SAS are a different matter all together however... they are the best in the world, my father was ex SAS and we never even knew he was until he died and a whole load of SAS guys turned up at his funeral! SAS reign supreme, they arr exceptionally brave and strangely humble as well.... Just never make the mistake of thinking humble is fear and take one on!!! Oh one more thing my father had some Ghurka in his regiment and he reckoned they were awesome soldiers... Though again I never knew they must also have been SAS!
thats why we raised regiments of ghurkas before the Nepalese wars were over!!!
both mine and my wife's grandfathers fought alongside the ghurkas in Burma, and the admiration for these warriors never left them.
💪🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧💪
Its like a honor for them to be selected for the british army its a big deal for them train when there realy young ......if you need a trench or bunker cleard send the gurkas in brutal get the job done
nice you just broke the official secrets act
@@louis2614 No he didn't. He said that is deceased father was in the SAS - why on Earth would you think that broke the Official Secrets Act?
Typical of British special forces. Guy was on a joint training exercise and got stuck in.
Man: there are Islamic extremists that have taken hostages in a local building.
SAS trooper: Hold my tea
Memento Mori SAS trooper: right that’s done, where’s my tea? 😉
Marc’s Fx 😂👌🏻
Hahahaha :D the mentality makes me so fucking proud 🇬🇧
Hold my tea, biscuits, pie, mash, bangers and liquor
John Storm It does me mate. I’m former Royal Marine Commandos myself (1997 - 2015) and this bloke has summed up our special forces with his actions. Definitely makes me proud.
Being British 🇬🇧 and ex-army myself, Iv never been more proud of our SAS living legends.
This video actually made me cry with how brave he was on that day, also showing why our special forces are a cut above the rest👍🏼
Salute And Respect From Malaysia..From Your Common Wealth Allies..
🇲🇾🇬🇧
Cheers to the SAS trooper from a brother in America.
And we will never know his name. We Kenyans are eternally grateful for you ❤️
His name is Christian Craighead and he is a man of faith so I am sure he would be grateful if you keep him in your prayers
When all of us would run away from danger, This man runs towards it. Absolutely fearless.
He did what he did because he wanted to, no praise, no bragging just glad to help. No matter what the cost to himself. The word hero is used too often and I'm sure he would not want that tagged to him. God bless that man.
Don't know if u ever going to see this Chris. I love u man,may God bless u n protect u all days of ur life,a simple Uruguayan guy living in NZ!
Makes me shed a tear. Love from the US
The actions of this SAS trooper makes you proud to be British..
Great respect for SAS 🇬🇧 from 🇵🇱 🕊️
🇵🇱🤝🇬🇧
As an American we are proud to have you guys on our side
I saw an interview with this guy Christian, and he said he was accepted into the SAS on his last attempt!
To their credit the Kenyan military conducted themselves in a professional manner exhibiting braveness, good tactical awareness and movement.
This guy is incredible, one man... one man. He activates his training, works with people he doesn't know, put's his life at risk repeatedly and gets the job done.
As an Australian, I'm thankful we have the Brits, Canadian and Americans by our sides.
It's actually unfair to our enemies how lethal this combination is....
You to mate...I served with US..Brits...never had a field chance with Anzaks...CDN here...we would kick each others ass in a bar...then get drunk together after. You had to prove yourself with tough boys becoming men.
Red white and blue..
Well he did know them as he was there to help train them but yeah crazy how training kicks in
This 💯🔥🔥
Did you know that we the turks fucked up all of them in ww1 and ww2. Don't talk shit and read history. Turkish soldiers are and will the best forever.
DO NOT MESS WITH THE SAS
Watching obi wan Nairobi (Christian) work is amazing. Everyone is running out, he keeps running back in. We’re so lucky to have men like this defending the defenseless. Thank you Christian.
now thats a pair of bollocks thank god for the SAS
@Shaun Davenport yes my man
Massive set of bollocks mate 👍🏻
Later 2 trucks arrived and the SAS trooper left on the first, his balls left on the second
Brave SAS.. Salute from Malaysia.. 💪

How many people did this man save, or help save? Whatever it cost to train him, was well spent. Much respect to this man!
700 people
First man in, last man out. The SAS are hand down the most elite soldiers in the world. Every Special Forces group on earth are based on the SAS
Well done to all security services. But it still prooves our boys S.A.S can still do the job in hand one S.A.S person can unleash hell what a bloke bless the S.A.S love all of you
Shawn Ryan's interview with him is awesome.
When fellow Scot Sir David Stirling came up with the idea of an SAS whilst recuperating on his hospital bed, I wonder had he envisioned his “Hit and run” teams going in like this, literally running singlehandedly, against whatever odds and coming out on top. This man is a credit to humankind, no frills, no book deals, no kudos and no matter...jobs a good un, lives saved, all the thanks he’ll ever need!
Well basically after all look how he proved the idea
He probably just does some menial job now…
He would be proud. The spirit of Paddy Mayne.
Worked these guys a few times, was always astonished by their bravery and skill. Only downside is never trust them with your chocolate biscuits
George In London 😂😂😂😂🇬🇧👊🏼
U got that one right mate😂
Watch Paras especially. 😂
Haha what you gonna do lol
Or a half empty mug of tea.

Gosh, this is one heck of a man. Thank God there are men like this in this world.
Very respectful video on this tragedy. Respect to the SAS man machine. Obviously he and the Kenyans knew he had the superior training, but to actually step up and apply it is amazing.
Hello. As a Kenyan i would just like to say thank you for your service
Thank you for covering this. Not enough videos highlighting what this man did for a country not even his own. He truly displays the type of action men should hope to exemplify. I can only hope one day I can emulate a fraction of his bravery.
No one’s covering this because it doesn’t contribute to global instability and finger-pointing.
It’s a British guy on vacation at the right time in the right place. Saving Africans… that doesn’t help promote the race war.
Proper solid lads, honestly better than any other special forces on the globe. It's mad to know how one special forces operator has the minerals to step up to such a horrific event.
His willingness to go forth and place himself between the enemy and strangers is absolutely awe inspiring. I hope this man is well today, we may not know his identity for years to come but I'd love to buy this man a beer and listen to a story or two.
He is well and retired. And he has an Instagram. The guy above me has the username
He’s been interviewed n TikTok. Amazing story - especially what happened earlier on in the day.
it is already in his blood of being a brave SAS no hesitation just to help others to survive this gives me CHILLS... LOVE FROM PHILIPPINES
I know it is a bit late for an comment but I just want to say that he is a hero as well as the Kenyan military and the civilians that helped him
It’s never too late to comment 😂
Happy to see British SF SAS/SBS lads starting to go back old school and keeping things quiet. None of this publicity lark.
Sadly the SBS is little known and hero's too :)
Nicely said Estelle... They are indeed
He has an Instagram account now @christian_craighead
British SAS and SBS, big respect from Brazil.
A Genuine Hero. God Bless him and Bro's in Arms. Respect.
This video does an excellent job at highlighting the bravery of everyone involved and the incredible power of teamwork. Very well done.
there is no team work on the video! vice versa ! the actions of the special forces are scattered! a British specialist generally runs around, you’ll understand where))) one. to work alone in such an environment is a disregard for the lives of the hostages! well, and his own) I think he was under some kind of substance)))) taking out the hostages - he didn’t even look in the direction of dangerat all!
It's also fascinating to see armed civilians who also joins the efforts in rescuing the trapped civilians
the best in the world, we should all be proud of SAS. Thank you.
The best at chocking and killing Kenyan women? Yes: Agnes Wanjiru
Bloody hell, talk.about cool under fire, this guy is one brave man who went way beyond the call of duty going back time and time and to rescue the people trapped inside. Respect.
That dude is a straight operator! Total badass!!
Well done troop. Much love from America.
AATW
Quiet efficiency, courage and resilience. Able to work on his own and yet inspire an army. Hallmarks of the SAS. Incredible to watch and a true lesson in leadership. Brilliant.
👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍!.
He was deigned to do what he did. He reacted the best way he knew. What a show of courage.
Seeing those civilians run out to safety was the very definition of heartwarming.
What a lad, I'm proud to be British because if the great things we did in the past and we have the most elite regiment in the world.
@Gomer Gilligan thank you
I'm from Glasgow so I have seen a lot of hard men but this guy is a hero, very brave and as a British citizen I am very grateful we have the best trained armed forces in the world.
If you are an indigenous Scot you are not a Citizen you are a Subject of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II please learn the difference. Many of our military brethren died defending these Islands from people like Napoleon and Hitler.

Incredible footage. Thank you for the upload.
So proud of our military. So brave and doing the right thing.
SAS and SBS are legendary.
Wish you guys would come out here to the US. You Brits would solve this crap real quick. You guys rock!
like I said his name is Chris Ryan, check out the video BRAVO TWO ZERO, or check out the tv show called HUNTING CHRIS RYAN. Soldiersaint thanks for the very kind comments towards the SAS.
Why do say that, jeez you've got the navy seals.
Amazing courage and work! Small correction, the rifle he was carrying was the newest L119A2 that the SAS received as a modernization program of the SAS weaponry, this rifle didn't prove itself to be all that much better from the previous model mentioned in the video (L119A1), they had a 23 million pound contract with Colt Canada who produces these weapons and soldiers are still asked the last about their opinion, kind of ironic isn't it?
Long live cooperation between Britain & Kenyan armed forces. Bloke did a good job. An excellent, thoroughly researched video.
My neighbour was SAS, all along he promised his wife that when he was due for retirement he was leaving the army. On retirement he duly left the SAS and joined the Australian SAS as a trainer within a couple of weeks. A great guy but I think his wife was more than a little bit annoyed.
He was on the Shawn Ryan show recently. He actually wasn't requested to give assistance, he just did. Balls of British Steel!
SAS trooper on vaction: "Make no big deal out of it."
Same situation, Navy SEAL: "Where do i sign my hollywood contract?"
MrPainfulTruth deal wouldn’t even want his face covered and would pose for camera
That’s a bit harsh,most of them are ok,have you in 2seconds
Nah seals are silent anymore like elite units, guys want to be Seals now cause they want to be hot shots in eyes of public, Seal movies and being public got a huge boost in people wanting to tryout to be seals, old generation Seals don’t even like the new
Now seal team 6 is way different than regular teams, there elite af
@@drakeandjosh007 the term is DEVGRU, Team 6 doesn't exist anymore.
Respect from Greece! Our Special Forces are based on the SAS with the same moto!
Who Dares Wins!
The SAS has a shared heritage with a lot of special forces units, Belgium, Australia, NZ, even the US Delta force.
@LaPugsley No, those units have seperate origins. You clearly haven't got a clue. Go and read about the SAS in WW2 and Charles Beckwith.
@LaPugsley Go read: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Air_Service#Influence_on_other_special_forces en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1st_Marine_Infantry_Paratroopers_Regimenten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacred_Band_(World_War_II)en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5th_Special_Air_Service
As for the SBS having a shared heritage, yes in the way that they were two special forces raised during WW2 but not really. Roger Courtney and David Stirling didn't know each other, just like they didn't know Orde Wingate. And Delta was founded by Charles Beckwith, who was seconded to the SAS and wanted to form an SAS style special force in the US Army.
And SBS being the first special forces? Nope, not at all.
Absolutely! The free Greek were one of the first companies in the SAS in WWII. As a Brit, big respect to the Greeks.
SBS & the Scared Band! Yes!
I reminded of the Spartans. When another city state asked Sparta for military aid one Spartan Hoplite would be sent. This served as an insult and a warning. The insult was to the state asking for help, one Spartan is all the help you need and the warning was to their enemy, one Spartan is all it takes to defeat you. This SAS Trooper is the one Spartan without the insult to the Kenyans...

Effing amazing SAS. Best in the world.
Terrorist attack happening.
Lone SAS Trooper: Hold my pint.
Brave man. He helped save many people. Proud of his efforts and dedication in the midst of a catastrophe. May he have a long, healthy life filled with happiness and fulfillment
This chap has just been awarded the "Conspicuous gallantry cross". People like this make me proud to be British.
It said at the end of the video that he was also nominated for a George Cross. This is a British award for gallantry in the face of extreme danger, but not in enemy presence. I'm assuming this is because the incident wasn't during a war. But he more than earned it.
I think he deserves a Victoria Cross. He had no real requirement to engage the terrorists. He was there as an advisor. He did more than advise, he led. He put his life on the line for a foreign country and a people that weren't his own. By that I mean they weren't United Kingdom citizens. He didn't care who they were. He did care that there was an enemy out there that needed to be neutralized. God love him and protect him fall the rest of his days. No Greater Love does a man have than to give his life in defense of another. While this Brave Soldier did not have to give his life he more than willingly accepted that he may have to to save others.
@RobbingHoodUK the V.C, Is reserved for acts of exceptional Gallantry , whilst involved in a Military Incident. This was not the case here. A George Cross (which he duly, and deservedly received) is the Highest Award (considered equal, to the V.C.) That would/was awarded to a "none military action. I do not agree with the distinction, but i,m an old Brit, who doesn't have a say. WELL DONE! that man!
Impressive work getting so many people out of there safely. Great to see soldiers from different backgrounds and nations working together to achieve the best outcome.
Team work makes the dream work.
1 foooking man!... 700 lives saved! Need I say any more.
Tell me when listening to this you weren’t picturing sgt Stonebridge from “ Strike Back” lol.
WDW 🇬🇧 never get tired of this story
I see your a man of culture too
I had the pleasure of meeting him today. He was an absolute professional and I enjoyed every minute.
