HESCO staff recently paid a visit to Alpha Company of the 40th Armoured Combat Engineers at their base in Baumholder. The 1st Armoured have recently returned from deployment in Iraq 防爆墙, where they were engaged in building base perimeter security barbed wire, amongst other operations.
Pictured is Jonathan Bird with Cpl. Samperisi Hesco Barrier, who alone has filled an estimated 15,000 cells of Concertainer® wire mesh, together with his front loader Unimog gabion basket, affectionately named Larissa. Special mention must go to Sgt. Brian Jellison razor barbed wire, who originally contacted Hesco to tell us of the exploits of his hard working Corporal.
Jonathan and Tom presented the whole brigade with specially designed t-shirts bearing the 40th Armoured crest gabiony, and a range souvenirs as a ‘thank you’ for their efforts gabion mat, and for using our products.
