Warrant officer class 1 (WO1) Anthony Hobbins has been honoured for his outstanding service in Afghanistan by being awarded an MBE.
The regimental sergeant major (RSM) of 2nd Battalion The Parachute Regiment has served his country in Bosnia, Kosovo, Sierra Leone, Iraq and Afghanistan during his distinguished career and his efforts to bring peace to the world have been recognised by Her Majesty the Queen.
His latest tour came in Afghanistan in 2008, which he says was a very difficult year for himself and the men and women who served by his side.
Lieutenant colonel Andrew Harrison MBE, said in the citation that WO1 Hobbins is something special.
"In over 20 years of military service I have never seen an RSM command such respect," he stated.
WO1 Hobbins said himself that he is honoured to be getting the award.
"It’s difficult to put into words how pleased and proud I am. When I was told I was gobsmacked; absolutely speechless," he added.
More than 110 armed services personnel have been recognised by Her Majesty in her annual New Year’s Honours list.
