| Soldier Saved Lives By Throwing Away Grenade A 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. He reached down to grab it and "posted" the grenade into a parallel irrigation channel to get it out of his hand as quickly as possible No sh*t, Sherlock! Hope you tipped your laundress! Bet the man is a wicked bowler in cricket... |
