And the amazing thing is he is not a Officer. During the two last wars it was a disgrace that getting a gong (not so much the VC) was often based on the family the soldier came from (for the so called upper class it came with the breeding, yes even in this country)and often medals were handed out to the "socially acceptable" for some small act, whilst the foot soldier who gave his all was totally ignored (if you have any doubts ask your dad or grandfather) so congratulations to the Trooper concerned, I wish I had his guts.
