英伦广角 Issue 103 哈里王子慰问伤兵战友(在线收听) |
Prince Harry has been reunited with a badly injured Royal Marine he trained with before being sent to Afghanistan, every question with that and more today's news. The prince and his elder brother William were touring the Headley Court Rehabilitation Center for injured troops. They met some of the 50 soldiers currently receiving treatment there, among them, 24-year-old Marine Mark Ormrod, who lost an arm and both his legs when he stepped on a mine in Afghanistan. A visit from two royals who talk their language. Soldiers convalescing at Headley Court said the princes were down to earth so much so that the bands are flowed as they lined up for the obligating photo call. Here at the front of **, a comment from one corporal to an amputee, "Prince William even joins in, his suggestion that doubled amputee Marine Mark Ormrod drew a few hand-break turns gets a laugh." But William's boast about his football team's success over the weekend didn't impress his brother. Humors are lighting the mood, but Harry knows more than most what these men have been through. Two soldiers who've stepped on a landmine have been on his untimely flight home from his own tour of Afghanistan. Two injured guys who came back on the plane with us who were essentially comatose throughout the whole way. One who had lost two limbs, a left arm and a right leg. Mark Ormrod was trained with Harry before leaving for Helmand province. He lost both legs and an arm after stepping on a landmine on Christmas Eve. Convalescing here has helped him enormously. It's not a big issue, while I never see someone finishing off themselves, you see them crack on the bottom, smile every day and, get through at it, and then you think, yeah, why not? We are all wanting to get like that, aren't we?. You just crack on certain. The Princes' visit coincides with the fundraising event next month called "City solute", designed to raise enough money for a full-size swimming pool here, a desirable but not essential facility, according to the MAD, so charitable help is needed. It enhances what we do and it really does underline our potential in terms of rehabilitating, the injured soldiers, the sailors and the airmen and rather than, you know, you know if we didn't have the pool. If I had the pool, I could get better quicker and I'll be out of here, and there'll have more space for more serious injuries, I mean,I don't know if you've been told or aware, that there is a waiting list to come in. you know, in this, about month-long. The Princes arrived and left by car today after the last week's quick trip to his girlfriend in an RAF Chinook, Prince Williams.... |
