⁣Captain Robert Lawrence MC, is a former British Army officer with the
Scot's Guards. Whilst fighting in the battle for Mount Tumbledown,
during the Falklands War, Robert was severely wounded by a bullet going
through his skull. The Argentine sniper who was covering an Argentine
retreat, then fired shots at a Scout Helicoptor which was evacuating the
wounded. Captain Lawrence was awarded the Military Cross for bravery,
but spent over a year in a wheelchair, being almost completely
paralyzed. Robert had lost 43% of his brain. Doctors predicted he would
never walk again, but to their amazement, he eventually regained most
movement, although retaining a slight limp and a paralyzed left arm. His
story was adapted into a BBC television play, entitled 'Tumbledown',
with Colin Firth playing the lead role. This is the real version of
events. Robert has since established Global Adventures Plus, a project
to help rehabilitate British veterans.
