Having just read In Foreign Fields by Dan Collins which relates the stories of many of the award winners from Iraq and Afghanistan it made me think who is the most decorated serving soldier in the British Army ,Johnson Beharry apart ? How about Coporal of Horse Mick Flynn from the Blues and Royals , he is a Falklands veteran who won a CGC in Iraq and the MC in Afghanistan !!!! or WO1 N K Pettit RE , GM , QGM, regards Paul
I'd say L/Cpl Johnson Beharry of the 1st Bn, Princess of Wales Royal Regiment. Because he's the only serving soldier at the moment in the British Military who has one. I think he works in a MT Dept now as he's perminately medically down graded and no longer allowed to go on operational tours. I guess he's earned his kick back and relax ticket though Cheers Andy
