Simon Moloney CGC - Shot Through The Throat And Lived To Tell The Tale … He Then Killed The Man Who Shot Him

Simon Moloney was a boy soldier and following his basic training he was deployed immediately to Afghanistan. His first contact with the enemy was not the contact he was hoping for, his troop commander was hit by enemy fire and the initial thoughts was that he had been killed. However, he had been knocked out and despite the blood his injury was minor.

Simon returned to the UK where he successfully underwent sniper training. Following his training he returned to Afghanistan where he utilised is new found skill to protect the innocent members of the community.

On July 4h 2013 Simon was engaged in action where he was shot in the neck and miraculously survived. He went on to be bandaged and was able to eliminate the man who had shot him.

His action saw him receive the 2nd highest military award in the British Army - The Conspicuous Gallantry Cross

On his last day in Afghanistan his dear friend Jay was killed alongside him during battle and whilst the psychical scars heal the mental scares remain.

Listen to this brilliant and brave individual tell how he was part of a team that fought the good fight for the people who needed the most support.
