Great stuff. According to the BBC News this morning, L.Cpl Leakey went to rescue a wounded American officer, before then organising his patrol and attacking the Tailiban, killing several and wounding four.
Bl**dy well deserved !!!

Somehow a salute icon seems vaguely insufficient. Agree with the previous comment...and good to see him recognizing his mates for their contribution.

Read it in the paper today. It is a great story.

Any idea what the second great story was? Or did I miss a sub-plot in the VC article?

If you continue to the bottom there's a couple/3 more award stories, small ones but all good.

Ahhh...I see. Thanks for the clarification.
