A British medic is treating wounded ISIS jihadis on the frontline in Syria, MailOnline can reveal.

Macer Gifford, an anti-extremist fighter, said he would be 'burnt in a cage or brutally murdered on camera' if the jihadis found him injured in battle.

The Briton, who gave up his job in finance in London to go to Syria, is part of an all-action battalion of fighters from the UK, US, New Zealand and Sweden, backing Kurdish forces - but will treat anyone injured in the fighting, even extremists trying to kill them.

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Macer, 29, said: 'There was one ISIS fighter that came in last week that sums this war up.

He was 14 years old and didn't look like a vicious ISIS fighter on his stretcher, he just looked like a kid. Macer Gifford

'He was 14 years old and grievously wounded and we did everything we could to keep him alive. He didn't look like a vicious ISIS fighter on his stretcher, he just looked like a kid.'

The teenage jihadi had been shot in the head, wrist and thigh, but was still able to squeeze the hands of the medics treating him.

Macer, who fights with a group called the YPG, which is the Kurdish People's Protection Units, said: 'He was looked after, just as one of our soldiers would be treated. That's in direct contrast to the fate that I would face at the hands of ISIS.

'I despise ISIS more than anyone else - I've lost half my last unit to them.

'But there is good and evil in this fight. We have treated absolutely everyone.

'Tragically the young ISIS fighter died of his wounds - another victim of ISIS and their ideology of hate.'

Team member: Firat, a Kurd from Sweden, works alongside Macer Gifford and other Western medics to save the lives of fighters on the frontline in northern Syria

Macer, a former Young Conservative who also fought for six months last year and uses his nom de guerre, launched the medical team two months ago with overseas funding.

He is joined by 'Tama', who served in the British Army, 'Firat', a Kurd from Sweden, 'Brennan' from America and 'River Rainbow O'Mahoney Hagg'.

The men, most of whom do not use their real names, are attached to Kurdish units, known as taburs, and operate on the frontline in northern Syria.

'When I was last in Rojava, my friends were dying from preventable injuries,' Macer explained. 'One guy bled to death after being hit in the leg and another nearly died after being struck in the upper arm.

'The conditions for the wounded were atrocious - six-hour drives to hospitals that were understaffed and under equipped.

'Our new team changes everything - applying life saving procedures in the field saves lives.'

The medics, who have 50 years' military experience between them, are providing training to Kurds and are giving them first aid kits. They soon hope to have 1,000 people trained, equipped and back on the frontline.

Devastating injuries: Macer (pictured right) said: 'His head was in a bad way, his brain was hanging out and his face had been torn off'

A series of photographs of the team's most recent casualty has been shared with MailOnline, showing the medics treating the man on the back of a pickup truck.

'When we advanced on one particular village we sent the bomb disposal team into a school where there was a suspicious ammunition case,' Macer, who himself received medical training from his own team, said.

'Our team was just down the road and saw the blast. We rushed to the scene and encountered both the casualties - one was already dead, the explosion had decapitated him and blown him 20 meters over a wall.

'His colleague was alive but had devastating injuries. He had severe chest injuries that included a sucking chest wound.

'His head was in a bad way, his brain was hanging out and his face had been torn off.

Injuries: One of their patients lies on a bed with a blanket wrapped around him and his hands in bandages

Treatment: The medics are training Kurds and giving them first aid kits, as well as providing life-saving treatment to fighters on the ground themselves

'We provided pain relief, cleared his airways, applied a catheter and chest seal. We put in a IV drip and began the process of evacuating him to hospital.

'After a two-hour journey to hospital, he died in the early morning after surgery.

'We've gone on to help many other people with similar injuries. Wherever there is fighting in Syria against ISIS, you'll find our team.'

Syria's Kurds have dramatically strengthened their hold on northern Syria during the civil war, which this week entered its sixth year.

A two-week-old Russia and U.S.-engineered partial cease-fire is holding and peace talks have resumed this week in Geneva with the U.N. envoy to Syria.

Moreover, Russia on Tuesday began withdrawing the bulk of its troops from Syria, signaling an end to Moscow's five-and-a-half month air campaign.

And although they are medics first and foremost, the men do get caught up in the fighting.

'Our priority is our casualties but we do patrol with the guys,' Macer said. 'We also have to secure our casualties and the first rule is to win the firefight.

'We're here to make a lasting difference and I won't be coming home until Raqqa (ISIS' capital) has been taken.'
