"Charlie Gould, a 23-year-old new recruit, collapsed during a five-hour "yomp" in full kit while taking part in the "arduous" Exercise Hunters Moon high on Dartmoor in June 2020. Mr Gould was loaded down with equipment during the multi-day training exercise - during which "exertion is loudly verbally encouraged" by superiors - and became ill when he overheated. His lawyers claim that he suffered "exertional heat stroke" and because he was not properly treated immediately ended up permanently injured and had to leave the Royal Marines."
The Independent seeks donations to fund journalists, maintain open access reporting without paywalls, and continue on-the-ground coverage of major issues. A 23-year-old recruit, Charlie Gould, collapsed during a five-hour "yomp" on Exercise Hunters Moon in June 2020 while carrying heavy kit and allegedly suffered exertional heat stroke after exertion was encouraged by superiors. Lawyers say delayed and inadequate treatment caused permanent injury and forced his exit from the Royal Marines, prompting a 236,000 damages claim. The Ministry of Defence disputes the claim, insisting he was properly treated and did not suffer heat stroke.
