    Can I suggest that you don't post your personal email. This is a public forum and can also be read by others who are not members. You never know who is out there.... Probably not a good idea to have it as your user name either.

    Just realised this sounds a bit rough. Welcome to the forum lol

    William Scully at AllExperts
    William Scully who earned the Queen's Gallantry Medal for his efforts and bravery when protecting 1000 refugees with assistance from a handful of Nigerian soldiers and a few army colleagues at the Mammy Yoko hotel in Freetown, Sierra Leone. Will Scully devised a plan of action to hold off the 200 strong army of rebels who were attempting to besiege the hotel, until support arrived. With decisive thinking and years of SAS expertise, William Scully showed tremendous determination and was awarded the Queen's Gallantry Medal for his efforts
    .

    The details of the conflict as well as the events leading up to the stand off and after are documented in Scully's book Once a Pilgrim ?? Same Scully?
