As war begins on Iraq, SAS hero Andy McNab is here to chat live to This is London readers

McNab commanded the famous Bravo Two Zero patrol during the 1991 Gulf War - an eight-man patrol tasked with destroying underground communication links between Baghdad and north-west Iraq. He was ordered to find and destroy mobile Scud missile launchers.

After a fierce firefight McNab was taken prisoner by Iraqi forces and held for six weeks during which he was relentlessly and savagely tortured.

The truly heroic exploits of the Bravo Two Zero patrol have been recognised the world over and, in the words of the patrol's commanding officer, "will remain in regimental history forever".

Awarded both the Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM) and Military Medal (MM) during his military career, McNab was the British Army's most highly decorated serving soldier when he finally left the SAS in February 1993.
