Two Trinidad and To­ba­go Reg­i­ment (TTR) sol­diers res­cued five civil­ians who got in­to dif­fi­cul­ty in the wa­ters off Blan­chisseuse Beach on Sat­ur­day, ac­cord­ing to a Face­book post by the Trinidad and To­ba­go Reg­i­ment.

The Reg­i­ment said that around 4 pm, sol­diers from the First In­fantry Bat­tal­ion were con­duct­ing a rou­tine pa­trol near the Blan­chisseuse Com­mu­ni­ty Cen­tre when they no­ticed two chil­dren and an adult man strug­gling in the wa­ter.

Recog­nis­ing that the three were in dis­tress, the sergeant on pa­trol sought as­sis­tance from the op­er­a­tor of a near­by re­sort and ob­tained a life ring.
