Shame they used a photo of 1 Para though!
Hope though that all injured recover successfully. Our link is that our standup coach Sandy Geddes (MMA fighter and boxer, record is public knowledge so I can name him) is from 2 Para and is a PTI at the Infantry Training Centre here who would have trained this lad.

Thank you very much! Yes, for the Marines to give that award, they must think very highly of your lad, good on him!

FYI, that clip; ooh dear. "Batey" is getting rather the worse of it, isn't he? Can't fight a lick, at least he's game.

Give good men good training and you get the Lewis' of this world doing what he did. Paras and Marines together! Couldn't get any better than that.

I know, poor lad but the point of milling is to show the fight inside not the fighting skill you have. He would have won that for showing guts.
