West Lowland Battalion Army Cadet Force shared a fantastic good news story last week.
During a journey home on the bus Cadet Corporal Caulder became aware of an incident involving the bus driver and quickly came to her aid.
Whilst trying to fix the bus, the bus driver had impaled her finger on the vehicle’s wiper blades. Despite the distressing nature of the injury, Martin identified himself as First-Aid trained and stepped in to assist, alongside two other passengers.
Praising Martin for his actions, the bus driver shared on Facebook:
‘My finger had gotten impaled onto one of the window wiper blades whilst I was cleaning the windscreen. Martin stayed and supported my arm for around an hour whilst I was stuck to the front of the bus until my work sent out an engineer. Then, after the window wiper was removed from the bus, he sat with me and held the wiper blade whilst it was still stuck in my finger for another good while until the fire brigade took over. He has a lovely nature, and I would be so proud to have him as a son.’
This heartfelt commendation is testament to the sort of young people being shaped and moulded by the Cadet Forces. Martin used First-Aid training gained through the Cadets, and exemplified characteristics championed by the organisation.
Well done Martin, your Battalion are beyond proud of you, and for good reason!
