Aussie SAS hero wins VC

VC winner Mark Donaldson

drew enemy fire, saved a

mate, and fought on

SAS trooper Mark Donaldson exposed himself so much to enemy fire that when Australia's last VC winner heard about his award he assumed it would be posthumous.

Deliberate exposure to draw enemy fire away from the wounded would have been enough for a Victoria Cross recommendation, but Trooper Donaldson then sprinted 80m over the same killing ground to save the life of a seriously wounded Afghan interpreter.

One of the last to leave, Trooper Donaldson, spotted the Afghan interpreter lying wounded in open ground more than 80m away. "His movement, once identified by the enemy, drew intense and accurate machine gun fire from entrenched positions," the citation says.

"Upon reaching the wounded coalition force interpreter, Trooper Donaldson picked him up and carried him back to the relative safety of the vehicles and then provided immediate first aid before returning to the fight."


blog it
When all the hype is over, the facts remain. This is a wonderful example of the British spirit being inherited in OUR youth. Whatever the political correct crowd want us to think, this magnificent young man is a result of his inheritance, his breeding and his family.

But because he is not an illegal immigrant, someone from the Third World with a dubious past, a liar a cheat and a thief, HE WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY GAIN ACCESS TO THE LAND OF HIS ANCESTORS.
Taliban backers only here folks.
