This post is dedicated to ‘Johnny Second Toe’ of Left platoon. Johnny is a dedicated soldier, nothing was too much for Johnny and he showed great courage in battle. It was in battle that Johnny Second Toe gave everything, not complaining or slacking when Johnny sustained a terrible injury. Blisters a common injury sustained in battle claims many toes and heels, and Johnny was hit by a blister. The blister was dealt with immediately after the battle by the surgical fingers unit that joined Foot brigade on April 22nd. But quick intervention could not prevent Johnny Second Toe from loosing his armour and on May 5th Johnny succumbed and lost his nail. We wish Johnny Second Toe a speedy recovery and will be thinking of him.

Marathon Casualties
Also injured was ‘Charlie Third Toe’ of Right platoon. Charlie’s injuries are not as severe as Johnnie’s, but look worse. Charlie, a committed toe who would always stand up with his mates is considered to be a great team player. He has black nail but is expected to recover. However latest news just back from the front line is that poor Charlie has lost his armour as well. Our thoughts are with his family.
