A lesser-seen photograph of SAS Sgt. Vincent “Vince” Phillips during training for the 1991 Gulf War 🇬🇧
Phillips was a member of the now-infamous Bravo Two Zero patrol and tragically died from exposure while evading capture behind enemy lines in the Iraqi Western Desert.
In this image, he’s wearing the iconic WW2-era windproof smock- a garment that had become something of a hallmark within the Regiment by the time of the campaign. Notably, there was no issued desert DPM Smock, Windproof, Camouflage at the time; such kit would appear later with UKSF.
As a result, the Regiment relied heavily on these legacy smocks, which proved poorly suited to the harsh winter conditions of the Iraqi desert. While their shortcomings in protection are often discussed, their limitations as camouflage are less frequently highlighted.
In 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘖𝘯𝘦 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘎𝘰𝘵 𝘈𝘸𝘢𝘺, Chris Ryan describes the winter terrain of Iraq’s Anbar Province as being predominantly grey-brown in appearance. Against this backdrop, the smocks stood out and under moonlight, he notes, could even appear to shine.
Taken together, it’s easy to see how this kit became a liability during operations, and why efforts were made to better equip A and D Squadrons with more suitable gear as the campaign progressed.

Sergeant Jon Hollingsworth. 22nd Special Air Service Regiment (22 SAS). Described as an "SAS hero" by a British newspaper.
A boy from Rotherham, Yorkshire who joined the British Army at just 16, enlisting with the Junior Parachute Company in October 1987. He passed P Company, served with the 3rd Battalion Parachute Regiment, and eventually passed the brutal UK Special Forces Selection to earn his place in 22 SAS.
His career was decorated long before Iraq. As a Corporal, he was awarded the Queen’s Gallantry Medal for operations in Northern Ireland. In 2006, Hollingsworth deployed to Basra with D Squadron, attached to “Hathor” detachment, the British SAS unit hunting insurgent cell leaders alongside JSOC’s Task Force in southern Iraq.
Weeks before his death, Jon was leading a raid on an insurgent occupied building in Basra when he was shot in the back of the neck. The bullet missed his carotid artery by millimeters. He was sent home for treatment, and came back within days.
On a separate raid, he reportedly killed six insurgents single handed, an action that would later earn him the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross, Britain’s second highest award for valor.
On the night of November 23, 2006, Hollingsworth was leading the assault on a block of insurgent occupied flats in Basra when he was shot during the firefight. He was evacuated to the British military hospital at Shaibah, where he died of his wounds. He was 35 years old. He left behind a wife and two sons.
He was the first member of UK Special Forces killed in action since Operation Abalone in October 2003. As his commander put it: “He did not die in vain.”
Not forgotten.
"Who Dares Wins."

So true and beautifully put, thank you.
May I remind everyone that 54 soldiers from my old Regiment, The Parachute Regiment were killed by the IRA and our soldiers helped in a major way to bring the IRA and @GerryAdamsSF to the negotiating table.
Labour’s current determination to bring in their awry Troubles Bill is an affront to all Northern Ireland Veterans.

“Many of our policy makers and much of civil society, inspired by the success in Northern Ireland, believe that all wars and terrorism can be stopped by clever conflict-resolution discussion and compromise, forgetting that violent actors such as the IRA only come to the talking table when their paramilitary capability is rendered ineffective by the actions of a military that is trained to fight and die for its citizens.” “So much of the current criticism of the SAS’s actions of the past stems from this mistaken belief that peace and security can be achieved and maintained without fighting and sacrifice, and that those, like the SAS, that do the fighting, killing and dying on behalf of society are somehow out-of-date, illegal dinosaurs. And this is the most dangerous fiction of all.” telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/04/2…

Thank you Nick for all your efforts to dethrone these two anti military KCs (@Keir_Starmer and #LordHermer)
Lawfare and money is the name of their game where patriotism and loyalty comes a distant second.
Shame on them!

Keir Starmer’s history is catching up with him - and his cronyism has brought him to the brink. I’ve written to the PM about his relationship with the disgraced Phil Shiner and Lord Hermer. Shiner went after British soldiers and was struck off the roll of solicitors for his conduct. Both Shiner and Hermer worked on the Al-Sweady case after it was clear the allegations were likely baseless. Starmer himself worked with Shiner and with Hermer in the Al-Jedda and Al-Skeini cases. Starmer says he disowned Shiner. But he refuses to condemn Hermer - and put him in the Cabinet. What’s good for Shiner should be good for Hermer. Starmer should sack him - and apologise for bringing him into government.

@bo66ie29 The Monarchy died for me the day she passed. She was the glue that held it together. Miss her so much. The country has not been the same without her.
