Not wanting to rain on anyone's parade, but... the article lists 3 DFCs... none to Nichol Benzie.

This is the only line to mention him:
Lieutenant Nichol Benzie, 32, will also receive a MiD for his gallantry.
Still a job well done, though.


The three awarded the DFC include Flight Lieutenant Chris Hasler, 26, a Chinook pilot.
Flight Lieutenant Craig Wilson, 31, was the pilot of a Chinook in the Helmand Province.
Royal Marine Major Mark Hammond, 39, was also awarded the DFC.

Sergeant Daniel Baxter, 27, a Chinook loadmaster, will receive the MiD for his bravery in Sangin.
Sergeant Graham Jones, 32, a Chinook crewman, has been honoured for going beyond his duties.
Lieutenant Nichol Benzie, 32, will also receive a MiD for his gallantry.

Further demonstrations of bravery in Afghanistan of Sergeant Samuel Hannant, 28, and Sergeant Darrell Harding, 37, both of 18 Squadron, and Flight Sergeant Andrew Welham-Jones and Flight Lieutenant Glen Militis, of 27 Squadron, will be recognised with a Joint Commander's Commendation (JCC).
