Two British soldiers from the same battalion have been nominated for the Victoria Cross in recognition of their incredible bravery in the face of the enemy.
The citations for Britain’s highest gallantry award came after the men were involved in fierce fighting against the Taliban in Afghanistan.
The first is Captain David Hicks – who would become the first officer to win the VC since Falklands hero Lieutenant-Colonel Herbert ‘H’ Jones.
The second is believed to be Lance-Corporal Oliver ‘Teddy’ Ruecker, 20.
