Joseph 'Joe' Townsend is a British paratriathlete who competed in the 2016 Summer Paralympics. He lost both legs whilst serving in Afghanistan, after stepping on an IED in 2008.

Military service
Townsend served in the 40 Commando whilst in the Helmand province of Afghanistan during Operation Herrick VII. On the 8th February 2008, he stepped on a Taliban improvised explosive device in a field in the Upper Gereshk Valley whilst leading his patrol (from Delta Company) back to FOB Gibraltar. The base, built in 2007, was nicknamed 'the mouth of hell' by Taliban fighters and Townsend was one of 14 to be seriously injured there. He was then taken to Camp Bastion (where he underwent 14 hours of live-saving surgery), before being flown to the Selly Oak Hospital in Birmingham, where, what remained of his right leg was treated and left leg was amputated as it could not be saved. Townsend spent a total of five and half months including 6 weeks in intensive care at the hospital.

Rehabilitation
In July 2008, Townsend left the hospital to go to the Headley Court a Defense Medical Rehabilitation Centre in Surrey. He spent a total of 3 years at the centre, learning how to use his new prosthetic legs, whilst also undertaking further surgery at the hospital, receiving over 50 operations to date. At the rehabilitation centre, he was encouraged to compete in the Ironman Triathlon - 2.4 miles of swimming, 112 miles of cycling and 26 miles of running. The triathlon had never been completed by a disabled athlete at the time.

Sporting Career
After 7 months of training with Team True Spirit, an organisation to help the rehabilitation of injured servicemen, Townsend competed in the Ironman Traiathlon on 31st July 2011 in Bolton, England. As he is a PT1 disability class athlete, Townsend used a handcycle for the 112 mile leg and a racing wheelchair for the marathon length running leg. This meant that Townsend was considerably quicker than many other athletes on the running leg, however, he was considerably slower on the cycling leg. He finished the triathlon in 12 hours 56 minutes, over 4 hours inside the cut-off time of 17 hours.

Book review for Bugle


Particularly towards the end of World War II, the allied forces were running low on well trained pilots. For downed pilots to return from enemy soil was very rare, so, masterminded by Airey Neave, a top-secret plan was set up to conceal and save dozens of pilots who would otherwise end up in POW camps.

The solution to the problem was dreamt up by Neave in mid-1944 - a makeshift camp constructed in Fréteval Forest, France would be used to house downed airmen until their relief after D-Day. The book details the struggles in the United Kingdom, particularly the struggles of MI9, the wing of the secret service tasked with overseeing the operation; the role of the Resistance; the daily life in the camp, including the anticipation of the oncoming invasion and experiences of individual airmen.

Although I thoroughly enjoyed the book - small, secret operations like this were essential to the success of the Allies in the war - I did find a couple of areas to be a little disappointing. Firstly, the book lacked focussed and often talked about unrelated events. The book only gets to the camp at chapter 9 and two chapters are devoted to the escape and evasion of Neave, which, as much as it is interesting to hear, is not the purpose of the book. Secondly, the book sometimes became a bit confusing, jumping back and forth between locations and people.

Attacks on law enforcement
Multiple police officers were shot or attacked during protests. At least twelve officers had been shot by June 12, and four were shot in St. Louis after facing violent protesters who had been looting and vandalising local businesses. In Las Vegas, a policer officer was shot in the head at Circus Circus Hotel and Casino whilst they were fighting a suspect, and another was attacked by several protesters in The Bronx. Law enforcement officers were also injured by vehicles in Denver and New York City and hit by projectiles elsewhere in the U.S.A. In London, protesters threw objects at police, and picked up and threw temporary barriers at the gates of Downing Street.

David Patrick Underwood, a Federal Protective Officer, was shot while guarding the Ronald V. Dellums Federal Building in Oakland, California. The suspect was identified as far-right extremist Steven Carillo who was later arrested.

In Minnesota, authorities charged a 28-year-old man from Saint Paul with attempted murder for allegedly shooting at Minneapolis police officers deployed to Lake Street during unrest on May 30, 2020. In New York City, nearly 400 officers were injured following two weeks of protesting. Injuries resulted from being hit by moving vehicles and being hit in the head with objects such as bricks and bottles. In one incident in Los Angeles, two officers were shot whilst sitting in their patrol car and protesters blocked the responding ambulance from entering the hospital whilst shouting "we hope they die".

In London, protesters threw objects at police, and picked up and threw temporary barriers at the gates of Downing Street where officers were stationed prompting more officers to enter the area. In all, twenty-seven officers were injured in London, with fourteen officers injured when protesters clashed with mounted police, with Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick saying it was "shocking and completely unnacceptable".
