Gents if none of you have read the various books about this tour, 1 PWRR became the most decorated Battalion in the Army at the time off the back of it. Y Coy occupied CIMIC house which was in the news rather a lot and was infamous for receiving the most sustained incoming since Korea. The Commanding Officer said to me about CIMIC house (I was with A Coy at the time) 'If I could've chosen the most exposed position in Al Amarah which was vertually impossible to resupply effectively without contact, it would've been this one [CIMIC House]'

Paul's T-Shirt is from a tour that saw the biggest war fighting operations since the actual invasion of Iraq and is worthy of your investment. Dig deep.
