  Our local Regiment have distinguished themselves in Afghamistan.
  
  Follow this to see a report (apologies for it being The Sun, its the only place I have seen this so far, got it via a link from Army Rumour Service webbsite).

  30 lads holding a key position against 400 Taliban for 9 days under intense fire. Only one of our lads injured by shrapnel and 100 Tallies dead. Good on 'em....

  I have placed it in an easy click on to read
  Well done the brave boys.
  
  Very interesting even though on a normal basis I wouldn't believe anything that McNab has to report.
  
  I suppose we should now await the book followed by a film..etc

  The link you posted didnt work for me but it did a moment ago Paul when I copied and pasted the original.
  
  I agree with you about McNab. I have enjoyed some of his fiction novels but I too have concerns about the veracity of some of his non-fiction. That is why I would ideally like to have found a better source than the Sun. Hopefully I will and I will provide it.
