WHO CARES!!!!!!!!Once you’re no longer of any use to them, the Army just don’t want to know.”
Lucy Bannerman
A soldier whose army career was cut short by serious injury in Iraq was put in fear of becoming homeless when he was given less than 30 days to leave the army house where he lives with his wife and three children.
Carl Tarry is still awaiting compensation more than three years after his leg was shattered during a clash with insurgents in Basra.
Last week he received a letter from the Ministry of Defence informing him that the family had until November 23 to move out or he would become liable for damages.
The former chef with the 6th Battalion Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers had expected at least three months’ notice after being medically discharged four weeks ago.
Unable to afford a mortgage or rent in the private sector until his compensation comes through, Mr Tarry feared that his family would be homeless over Christmas if they were evicted from the four-bedroom house in Tidworth, Wiltshire.
He said that the order to leave their home, which is in a street filled with empty army houses, was the final insult after 18 years of dedicated service.
