In this month's veterans feature, we return to January 2006. After serving three tours in Bosnia, Master Corporal Christopher Harding began the first of two tours in Afghanistan with the 1st Battalion Princess Patricias Canadian Light  Infantry.

On the 8th of July he was involved in a fierce battle with the Taliban, as part of Operation ZAHAR, and following intense fighting he risked his life to rescue a severely injured soldier who had been shot in the neck.

“I remember looking through the haze and I saw Corporal Christopher Klodt lying there on his back. So I crawled over to where he was.”
