Soldier Saved Lives By Throwing Away GrenadeA British soldier who picked up and threw away a live grenade before it could kill him and his men is among 131 members of the Armed Forces whose heroics are being officially honored. Serjeant Deacon Cutterham Hey, Deacon Blues, this sounds like a fine namesake for ya! was wading through an irrigation ditch knee-deep in water on patrol in Helmand province, Afghanistan, when the grenade came flying over a high wall to one side and landed in front of him.

Bet the man is a wicked bowler in cricket... Posted by: Glenmore 2012-03-23 |
