SwanageDave Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I am over the Mon this morning, my nephew Seargent Major Karl Ley won the Award for the most outstanding soldier at the millie awards last night. he is an explosives engineer and defused more than 139 I.E.Ds in one tour of duty. Karl is only 29 a very laid back young man with children and married to Kay Louise.He is at the Palace today collecting the George Cross from H.M.The Queen. And still drives around in a battered old ford fiesta. WELL DONE KARL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebized Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Hats off to him many times over - but no honour can truly reflect the risk those guys take every time they go to work. One of many real heros this country can be so proud of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
