The Times has the story of Royal Marine Lance Corporal Matt Croucher who threw himself on a grenade to save his squad mates. Croucher, who is a reservist, was uninjured except for a nosebleed as his backpack took the force of the blast.
Related followup: The Washington Post reports that a US Navy SEAL has been awarded a posthumous Medal of Honor for performing a similar act in Iraq.
