A time for war: Aden 1966

Colonel Laverick watched in horror from her hiding place in the middle of the desert as the group of soldiers she had been observing from a distance dived down from their emplacement. As the grenade followed her natural instincts took over from her orders and she ran towards the Ginger Haired young man and pushed him out of the way. She dived behind the emplacement out of site just in time to watch in horror as the grenade exploded in the face of the dark skinned young man that had only a minute before been laughing and joking with the ginger haired one she had just saved. "So it was me" she thought to herself as her vision started to blur and the nauseating feeling came over her.
