The Medal for Gallantry is our 3rd highest honour.
You'll find one on Justin Huggett's chest.
He was the mortar platoon sergeant with the 2nd Battalion, the Royal Australian Regiment.
In 2007, he was posted on exchange to the 1st Battalion, Her Majesty's Grenadier Guards and was deployed with them to Afghanistan.
Justin Huggett earned the right to speak his mind after his "multiple acts of gallantry in exceptionally hazardous circumstances" on the battlefield with the Grenadier Guards during their 2007 tour.
Men like the former Sergeant Huggett understand how to lead younger men into battle.
If they perform better with higher morale and esprit de corps as a result of sharing a logo - then good on them.
Thank you for your service Justin.
Then and now.
