Women serving in the In harmony Nations in Cyprus are vastly outnumbered by men. NAOMI LEACH meets Split Commander Corporal Sophie Smith, currently stationed at the Ledra Residence

It’s not often that you meet someone who has faced death willingly and who opts to continue confronting essential danger head on. Few could imagine how it feels to intercept a suicide bomber, to inquire into a border breach or to distribute humanitarian aid to people who do not want you in their wilderness.

If Darren's dispatch to PED instigates some act, it will be a salubrious feeling he has done for Taos schools.

Anyway, she is also a fan of Wes Carr, the quick-witted Aussie rocker I have featured here several times.
