Captain Robert Lawrence MC, is a former British Army officer with the Scot's Guards. Whilst fighting in the battle for Mount Tumbledown, during the Falklands War, Robert was severely wounded by a bullet going through his skull. The Argentine sniper who was covering an Argentine retreat, then fired shots at a Scout Helicoptor which was evacuating the wounded. Captain Lawrence was awarded the Military Cross for bravery, but spent over a year in a wheelchair, being almost completely paralyzed. Robert had lost 43% of his brain. Doctors predicted he would never walk again, but to their amazement, he eventually regained most movement, although retaining a slight limp and a paralyzed left arm. His story was adapted into a BBC television play, entitled 'Tumbledown', with Colin Firth playing the lead role. This is the real version of events.
