“A Personal Reflection by Charles Coy’s CSM on The Battle for Pashmul”

[BeyondTheNow]

CWO (Ret’d) John G Barnes, MMM, MSM, CD is my friend’s father. His daughter shared this with us today.

John shared some of his experiences while serving with The Royal Canadian Regiment. He recounted his time as CSM of “Charles” Company, 1st Battalion on day two of the Pashmul Battle.

There are some saddening portions of his writing, but it was an informative and moving read. I thought others here might enjoy it also.
