'elf and safety, innit?

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.

Edward Hill, a second-year law student at the Open University and one of the former marines, first filed the case in September 2019 after he came to believe his unit was exposed to the most hazardous type of asbestos known as loose-fill during a military exercise called Exercise Baltic Protector 2019 (BP19).

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?

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.

Highest ranking member of the British Army killed by the IRA was Colonel Eaton, Royal Signals. Killed 30 June 1976, in West Belfast.

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.

Unless you believe we should set off bombs on and shoot our own troops during training because ‘it might happen at war’.

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.
