3 Para - A Coy - OP Herrick 8 - 2008

3rd Batallion, The Parachute Regiment on Operations in 2008. Made this for family back in 2008 and recently found it again.

I must also say how proud a lot of us( probably mostly ex soldiers to be honest) are of all of the lads who went to Afghan and the heroes who sadly gave their lives.
I'm also pretty proud to have the Parachute Regiment based in my home town, Colchester. 🇬🇧🇬🇧✌✌

That's crazy, he was in my section on Herrick 8.

Is this the year that you delivered the turbine and had Mr Carleton-Smith as your Brigade Commander, who is now head of the British Army??

[@CharlesHWroth]

I am unsure of who the Brig was but yes, we were on the Op when they brought the turbine is. TBH, it was a massive anti-climax.
