Army chief 'humbled' by bravery
Updated on 28 September 2008
A senior Army officer has said he was "humbled" by the bravery of the 21st Century British soldier.
As members of the 3rd Battalion returned from a six-month tour of duty in Afghanistan, Lieutenant Colonel Huw Williams, commander of the 3rd Battalion, the Parachute Regiment, said modern paratroopers were a match for any British soldiers who had gone before them.
He said teenage boys volunteer for service knowing they would be fighting in foreign fields and facing death.
