On 14 May 2004, Sergeant Brian Wood became the first British soldier for 25 years to lead a bayonet charge as his regiment won a famous victory over a group of Iraqi insurgents at the Battle of Danny Boy.

Named after a nearby British checkpoint, the engagement was one of the fiercest clashes of the Iraq War and Wood was later awarded the Military Cross for his gallantry.

However, in the aftermath, noted human-rights lawyer Phil Shiner accused Wood and his regiment of committing war crimes at Danny Boy by attacking innocent farmers, before demanding a public inquiry that lasted for almost five years.
