We hear from Andy Merry, 40 Commando, who Served during Op Telic and whose mum marched in the anti-war protests.
Andy was first in to the Al-Faw Peninsula with the US Navy SEALs to capture strategic targets.
This is his personal account of his experiences and he talks about the realities of war, which includes details of injury and death.
If you feel that you might find this challenging, you may prefer not to listen.
We also hear about Andy’s life after war. He’s now a ‘Beefeater’ at the Tower of London and has Multiple Sclerosis.
Andy embraces the spirit of The Corps, acceptance of challenge and positivity in the face of adversity.
