Cpl Leigh Twist receiving her certificate of commendation from Comd JHC at a recent medal ceremony at MOD Stafford. The award, from Maj Gen A R D Shirreff (GOC (MND SE)), was made in recognition of her efforts in successfully extinguishing a fire when a fuel line was hit during a mortar attack at Al-Almarah where Cpl Twist was the TSW site commander. At the same time she co-ordinated the move of her equipment to set up another refuel site to refuel the incoming IRT helicopter from Basrah. Picture: Photographic Section DCAE Cosford. |
