Highest ranking member of the British Army that died on active service in Northern Ireland during Op BANNER was LGen Erskine-Crum (GOC Northern Ireland, late Scots Guards), but that was of natural causes.McNab (ok...Mitchell) mentions that in one of his books. CO 2 RGJ killed. Well regarded according to Andy. Highest ranking member killed on active service, or would that have been Warrenpoint?

Revealed: Royal Marines forced to 'sleep in deadly asbestos-riddled buildings on exercise'
EXCLUSIVE: Royal Marine Commandos may have been exposed to deadly asbestos during two military exercises in an eastern European ghost town, it has been claimed.
More than 100 current Royal Marine Commandos and dozens of ex-marines are seeking damages from the Ministry of Defence after they claim they were exposed to asbestos during two major military exercises.

I'm sorry - but are they going to prevent deployment to every hazardous environment?
Loose asbestos is no joke. Any exposure for any length of time can be fatal long term. Its one thing for a warzone exposure, its another all together for a training exercise.I'm sorry - but are they going to prevent deployment to every hazardous environment?
Isn't that basically every building in Borden right now?'elf and safety, innit?

As long as the Asbestos is intact it is still "safe". Once there is a crack or any damage at all the whole building needs to be decontaminated. I doubt there are any buildings in at Borden that do not have some cracking or damage.Isn't that basically every building in Borden right now?
