'The rules they break are sometimes really trivial. It's similar to being a teacher at playtime - only the children have guns. The island has been in drought for several years but since we arrived in December it doesn't seem to have stopped raining. It's just like Redruth.'

A qualified operator with 32 Regiment, the unit solely used drones. Seymour latterly deployed to Iraq besides serving in Canada, Brussels and Belize; sold together with British Forces Identity Card, Junior Army Acceptance Certificate, qualification Certificates and photographs with the recipient identified.
