Hero Of The Week.

He may look about 12 but really hes 22 in September and a real life action hero.



In July 2006 L/Cpl Nicholas Coleman who was 20 years old at the time was on patrol in Iraq when his unit of the Devon and Dorsets (now The Rifles) were ambushed by the Sandsavages.
Coleman gave first aid to two of his wounded men and then led an attack on the insurgents, after getting the unit back to safety they were mobbed by yet more ungrateful Iraqis who tried to pull two injured corporals out of their vehicle. Coleman fought hand to hand with these camel rapers thus saving the Cpls though the patrol commander, Cpl John Crosby later died of his wounds.

Coleman was flown to Germany and given the Military Cross by Prince Charles, he'll be given a civic reception in his home town of Plymouth (one of my old port of calls) if he ever had any trouble getting his hole there after this he won't.

Well done lad, usually you only hear about the negative parts of this war like the excessive cost ,ugly weemen and people losing their heads over nothing which makes us forget about the heroes fighting it. One so young too and being a Lance jack for only 8 months now that's potential. Modest also he insists he was simply doing "what he signed up for".

Mrs Cecrux I'm sure there are many more but the media prefers death.

Ms Pool Coleman deserved a mention I reckon.

So he won the Iron Cross for keeping the unit together and oversight, helping his men, bringing them back.
That is good.
