Behind the wire in Iraq

Radiographer Sylvia Ibie has described her service in Iraq as a "privilege." In an interview with the BBC, Sylvia, who is stationed 'behind the wire' at 22 Field Hospital, says every wounded patient is "one of yours coming in.

"You feel like it's your younger brother, and he's injured. You just feel, 'let's do the best you can'. The dedication, the commitment, it's awesome."

But she says: "Several times I've had to rush back to my department and go on my knees in tears because of the casualties that come in, it's got that personal."
