P, Gus is ex 9 Ind. Para Sqn. He was down south in 82. He did a hunger strike (nearly killed him) outside Combat Stress in Wales due to them having their place empty. Turning away veterans and sacking half their staff. While the CEO continued to advertise for donations and took a £500,000 a year salary.
