So what is he doing. Is he on the perimeter of a base, or is he covering the movement of the vehicles. Is he in the Royal Marines?

IIRC it was taken during the assault on Basrah, and he's a sharpshooter from the Irish Guards.

I'll grab my copy of Soldier mag from the office tomorrow and give you some infor on the picture. IIRC, the guy who took it did an interview. Might also be able to do some page scans of the runners up.

It reminds me of the scene from "A bridge too far" when the British para's are about to fire some piat's at incoming tanks...
