Carl Williams grew up in a military family and joined the 2nd Royal Tank Regiment in 2003. During his second tour of Iraq Carl was stationed at Basra Palace, which came under daily attack in a summer of heavy fighting. Eventually the British soldiers were ordered to leave the city after a cease fire was agreed with the enemy - a decision that many of the soldiers disagree with to this day.
