IRAQ is an “absolute complete and utter mess” says a Barrow soldier who has survived more than 1,000 bomb attacks on his base in Basra.
Lance Corporal James Larsen, of Helmsley Drive, was just 70 metres away when his Barrow buddy, Lance Corporal Den Brady died.
He also survived a blast just 25 metres away from him. The 23-year-old soldier, who has a two-year-old daughter named Ellie, returned from the war-torn country just over three weeks ago after a seven-month stint in Iraq.
He had been serving with the 2nd Battalion of the Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment at a hotel base in Basra which holds more than 1,000 troops.
The camp is next to the Shaat al Arab waterway where four British service personnel, including a female soldier, died in a bomb attack on their patrol boat on Remembrance Sunday.
