Paul Layer
The lying Para Walt
WALTER MITTYS
Yet again we find ourselves looking in disbelief at the stupidity of another walt to grace our page in the form of Paul Layer.
Layer pinged our radar a few months back after his mug shot and claims started doing the rounds around the Para Reg Facebook pages. He claims to be ex 2 Para, a Sgt and holder of the GC and what a rack he has.
Wow a George Cross which as we all know will be listed in the London Gazette under his name but for some strange reason he can’t be found. Not a sign of him. We managed to get our contacts with SAMA to look him up and again nothing.
Interesting as the dates he’s given would have meant his basic training and pass out should have been depot Para Aldershot Browning Barracks and his Jumps course would have been conducted at RAF Brize Norton at the No1 Parachute Training School. The only school recruits to the Parachute Regiment are sent too.
In these photos his GC is missing. How odd!
So like the incorrect facing dog collars, medal order and the most unallyness of helicopter landing pads on your napper, a massive massive fail in walting.
We noticed his rack is missing an Afghan OSM as the picture he claims is him which we believe was taken in Afghanistan. You can clearly see this was photographed from a book or TV set due to the reflection.
So as per our SOP we posted up our CC1
And it did not take long........
During our investigation and after a few questioned him Layer did a walting E&E off social media and is currently underground. However, as per our SOPs we gave Layer a chance as we know word would have got back to him.
No P Company attendance records.
No Basic Military Parachute Course records.
No one knew him in 2 Para
Not listed in the London Gazette as having been awarded the George Cross.
Verdict. What a Cumper!
Then our contacts to checked out his Para Records and again not a hint of a P Layer on record as having attended a Basic Para course or even P Company. What a Player😉
One of the ex Para Reg lads started a conversation with him to see what gems he could get out of him
