Earl of Bronze

Gotta say I'm totally made-up for the guy.

When I joined up in '88, part of my basic training was learning the history of my unit (Royal Engineers). During which we where taught about the bravery and sacrifice that previous Engineers have endured. So considering the criteria needed now adays to qualify for the recomendation for the VC, you can rest assured it is deserved in few cases.

What stands out even more than the gong, to me anyway, is the face that after being seriously wounded, this brave soldier still wants to stay in the Army. I truely hope he can, given that he still suffers with his now healed wounds.
