Heroic marine throws himself on grenade - Telegraph

Brilliant story to read and the biggest reward he could ask for is the fact that hes simply ok, forget the VC. Couldnt ask for anymore than he already has

WOW!

"Lance Corporal Matt Croucher amazingly survived the incident despite shrapnel peppering his helmet during the explosion."

:eek:

Can't get much braver than that-very well deserved medal IMO.

:notworthy

bet he doesnt have to get the rounds in anymore;)
A truly outstanding show of courage:notworthy

Doesn't sound like he even had chance to think about it. He must have some balls! Well done, that man.

Just goes to show how good the new Osprey body armour is. Shame there isn't enough of it to go around.

:notworthy

thats a true warrior if he did that

nothing beats someone who gies their life tae protect others, this lad survived, a living martyr, brave guy :)
