A former government minister's son fighting in Ukraine has spoken of how he helped a fellow British volunteer fighter escape Russian fire after he was badly injured by a mine.
Ben Grant, 30, a former Royal Marine, helped drag his comrade to safety as mortars and artillery were fired towards them in woodland north of Kharkiv. The dramatic rescue was filmed on a helmet-mounted camera, the Daily Telegraph reports.
Mr Grant, the son of Maidstone and the Weald Tory MP Helen Grant who held a number of ministerial posts under David Cameron, said he was “terrified”. But he had focused on getting former Grenadier Guardsman Dean Arthur out of danger.
