Concertainer-Visit to 1st Armoured Combat Engineers – QiaoShi Gabion Barrier 2
Visit to 1st Armoured Combat Engineers
11th Oct, Baumholder, Germany
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, where they were engaged in building base perimeter security, amongst other operations.
Pictured is Jonathan Bird with Cpl. Samperisi, who alone has filled an estimated 15,000 cells of Concertainer, together with his front loader Unimog, affectionately named Larissa. Special mention must go to Sgt. Brian Jellison, 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, and a range souvenirs as a ‘thank you’ for their efforts, and for using our products.
