Ambush in Basra: How These British Soldiers Survived | TEA & MEDALS

In the first episode of our new podcast, we tell the story of Corporal Chris “Barney” Balmforth who was awarded the Military Cross for his bravery in Iraq.

He tells the story of how he fought off up to 10 heavily armed Iraqi terrorists and saved the lives of four of his comrades when his Land Rover was ambushed by rebels in Basra.

In Tea & Medals we follow former soldier and BFBS video producer, Darren Coventry as he talks to men and women who have received the UK’s highest military honours.
