#IRemember: "It's Tough When Your Driver Dies Beside You"
General the Lord Dannatt GCB, CBE, MC, DL today joined our #IRemember campaign with a moving tribute to the men he served alongside in Northern Ireland who lost their lives in the troubles.
Lord Dannatt, Chief of the General Staff between 2006 and 2009, was serving in Belfast as a Lieutenant in The Green Howards in 1973 when his driver, Private Raymond 'Tapper' Hall was shot in the back by an unknown gunman. He died from his injuries some weeks later.
