Our heartfelt condolences to the loved ones of LCpl Brodie Gillon, who was repatriated yesterday. Her service and her sacrifice has not featured anywhere near as strongly in the media as it should have done, but you’re in the hearts and minds of everyone that wears a uniform.

BBC News (World) Due to having my optic nerves severed a brain chip connected to an artificial eye is likely the only hope I have of regaining sight in my lifetime. It’s good to read of such big players entering the race for a viable brain chip interface.

January was the absolute lowest point of my life. Isolation, family breakdown but having a goal and implementing it with the help of guys from my unit and British Army BJJ got me through. Day one of the project started today💪

Controlling my opponent is essential as a #blind fighter. Adding to my catalog of grips with my shoulders on a wrist, as I apply neck pressure on my opponent with my head or other arm. Thank you Lyubo Kumbarov and British Army BJJ can’t wait to start competing again

The irrepressible Bdr Rob Long, he grapples by touch due to an IED blast in Afghanistan, but he still competes, and beats, able bodied opponents - an absolute legend and a shining example of what can be achieved when you refuse to be beaten 🥋🥋🇬🇧🇬🇧
