Sgt MacMaster, 42, is haunted by his memories of commanding a transport unit.
He was in charge of 40 soldiers driving fuel tankers between Nasiriya and Baghdad - a day-long trip that “was like a bunch of safe forts with no-man’s-land in the middle and everybody taking potshots at you”.
For the safety of his own troops, he had been ordered not to stop moving.
**“At the beginning of the war I was told: ‘Don’t stop for anybody - if they get in the way, run them over.’” **
And he had not been in the country long before he saw a lorry run over a little girl in the road begging for food. “I had seen dead Iraqis before, but they were fighters. These were people who were getting hit in an innocent way.”
