Think it's rather nice to hear something good from the guys in the Middle East these days as opposed to those who sadly died. He is quite exemplary, and deserves the recognition.

An excellent act of bravery, well deserved - a good man! The George Cross




Quote:
A Royal Marine in southern Afghanistan threw himself onto an exploding grenade to save the lives of his patrol.
Miraculously, Lance Corporal Matt Croucher, a marine reservist from Birmingham, survived the blast with little injury when his rucksack and body armour took the force of the blast. He is expected to receive one of the highest awards for gallantry.
