An Army sergeant who led his vehicle into a firefight to save two fellow soldiers has received an award for gallantry from the King during the Monarch's first official visit to Wales following the Coronation.
Sergeant Adam Humphreys of 1st The Queen’s Dragoon Guards was a Troop Sergeant during a United Nations peacekeeping tour of Mali.
The King presented Sgt Humphreys, from Shrewsbury, with his award on Thursday before a group photograph outside the Brigade’s headquarters building in Brecon, then going on to meet members of other Welsh units. Sgt Humphreys said: “My troop was out on patrol when we came across two armed men near a river. When they saw us they fled, so we searched the area to see if we could find them. I found one of them hidden in the water and detained him.”
