The First Woman to Kill in Battle
Manage episode 193062997 series 1789822
Chantelle Taylor was a combat medic in Afghanistan. She took pride in being highly trained in both those trades; saving lives, but also taking them when necessary. During a Taliban ambush on her unit, Chantelle played her role fighting off the attackers. During the firefight she "engaged" one of the enemy - killing him. Those carefully-aimed shots made her the first female soldier in British military history to take a life in combat - a status she neither hides nor celebrates.
Chantelle is the author of a memoir (Battleworn) and co-hosts the Global Recon podcast.
