From the Daily Telegraph:

A [British] Paratrooper who ran to the aid of a wounded American soldier while under heavy fire could be among the first British troops to be awarded a gallantry medal in Afghanistan. Pte Peter McKinley has been praised by his commanders for a “massive display of bravery” after saving the life of the US sergeant in one of the most intense battles 3 Bn the Parachute Regiment has experienced during its deployment to Helmand province.
