Victoria Cross for Afghan hero

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-21810581

A hero is rewarded for giving his life to save those around him.

Quote:

A British soldier who died in southern Afghanistan last year as he protected his colleagues from a grenade blast is to be awarded the Victoria Cross.

The UK's top gallantry medal will go to L/Cpl James Ashworth, 23, of Kettering, Northamptonshire, who was serving with 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards.

A fitting award.
