It has been announced today that Trooper Mark Donaldson, SASR, Australian Army (the soldier mentioned in that second PDF I attached at the start of this thread) has been awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions. The Victoria Cross is the highest military award for bravery in the British, Australian and New Zealand militaries (the equivalent of the Medal of Honour in the USA) and this is the first Australian Victoria Cross awarded in the last 40 years.
