Veterans' protest outside PTSD treatment centre hit by health scare
Gus Hales
THE organiser of a protest camp run by military veterans suffering post-traumatic stress has been hit by heart problems in the last few days.
Gus Hales, 62, launched the protest with an 18-day hunger strike prior to Remembrance Sunday.
His campaign grew into a unprecedented protest site in Shropshire, with veterans camping outside a PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) treatment centre run by Combat Stress, Britain’s “leading charity for veterans’ mental health.”
