Past Members
The Military Cross
For exemplary gallantry during active operations against the enemy on land
2008
Captain Paul Britton, Royal Regiment of Artillery
(Sea Scout from 1988 to 1998)
"Captain Britton was commanding a fire support team that were co-ordinating artillery and air strikes to aid an ambushed patrol in the Upper Sangin Valley. Their position then came under a ferocious attack and Captain Britton sustained fragmentation wounds caused by a rocket propelled grenade. He refused morphine and evacuation and continued to lead the fire support team to aid the ambushed patrol with remarkable success, allowing a helicopter to land and rescue their casualties. For his outstanding display of professionalism, inspirational leadership and selflessness when confronted by a tenacious and determined enemy, he is to be awarded the Military Cross".
