Maldon: Ex-soldiers on a new mission
Two former soldiers are determined to prove there is life after the forces as they prepare to open an aquatics shop in Maldon.
Jack White and amputee Matthew Woollard are set to open Ocean Deep Aquatics in Quest Place, off Butt Lane, tomorrow - just weeks after being discharged on medical grounds in September.
The pair met for the first time while undertaking courses to prepare them for civilian life at the personnel recovery centre at Merville Barracks in Colchester.
