It was him or me, says the first female soldier to kill in combat who shot Taliban SEVEN times

by Katherine Faulkner, Mail on Sunday, 4 December 2011

A female [British] Army medic has told of the dramatic moment she gunned down a Taliban fighter after being caught in an ambush, saying: ‘It was him or me.’  [...]

Officially, female soldiers in the Army are not allowed to fight on the front line in battle. But Miss [Chantelle] Taylor is one of many women who have served in Afghanistan and Iraq as medics, drivers and artillery support troops. [...]

Describing her first and only ‘kill’ in a book about her experiences in Afghanistan, Miss Taylor said the attack happened as a patrol was ambushed by 20 heavily-armed insurgents in the Taliban stronghold of Marjah, Helmand, in July 2008.

The dramatic account appears in Miss Taylor’s book Bad Company: A Woman Face To Face With The Taliban, which is being serialised in the Mail on Sunday.
