Welcome All!

This website was created for the single purpose of recognizing the bravery of a British Royal Marine Hero, Lance Corporal Matthew Croucher.

“When Lance Corporal Matthew Croucher flung himself on a live grenade, he wondered just how long it would be before it detonated and what it would feel like to die. The explosion came just five seconds later.

The 24-year-old Royal Marine reserve should have been killed instantly but his rucksack and body armour absorbed so much of the blast that, astonishingly, he survived with only minor injuries. His action saved the lives of his comrades on the patrol in Helmand province, Afghanistan.

L/Cpl Croucher, from Birmingham, was awarded the George Cross yesterday for what was described as an act of “extraordinary bravery and sacrifice”. He is the first reservist to receive the military’s highest honour, alongside the Victoria Cross, in the current conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq”.

Please feel free to express your gratitude to the people of Great Britain for producing such a fine and selfless young man. We salute Lance Corporal Matthew Croucher!
