Bravery, Injury and the Future - Ian Bailey, the Falklands War & the Battle for Mount Longdon

  • サマリー

  • In this episode, we feature Ian Bailey MM, a Falklands War Veteran and former Parachute Regiment section commander. Growing up in North Wales, Ian followed in the footsteps of his grandfather, a fellow Military Medal recipient from World War One. At just 22 years old, Ian led his section in the Battle for Mount Longdon, one of the most intense and decisive engagements of the war. Shot in the thigh as he advanced on an enemy machine gun, Ian was left unable to move, before being shot again - his leadership and bravery that night in the chaos of battle earned him the Military Medal.

    In this episode, Ian reflects on his journey from a young soldier to a war veteran, the realities of combat and how the injuries he sustained on Mount Longdon have caught up with him in later life. He also shares his thoughts on veteran care today and whether it’s time to rethink how the nation supports those who have served.
