Hello.

I'd like to put up a photo of my own if no-one minds.



2 Guardsman from No. 1 Company, 1st Battalion Coldstream Guards. The Guardsman in the wheelchair lost his legs whilst running to put a tourniquet on his friend (pushing the wheelchair) who'd been hit by automatic weapon fire' when he was caught by a .50cal. His friend (the one that he was on the way to help) crawled over and helped me stem the bleeding as much as we could.
