First ever Victoria Cross awarded to a living soldier

When first under fire an' you're wishful to duck,
Don't look nor take 'eed at the man that is struck,
Be thankful you're livin', and trust to your luck
And march to your front like a soldier.
Front, front, front like a soldier . . .

No, the bad is on Fox News or whoever. They have this cool article, topped with a picture of "Cpl. Jamie Peters RLC" .., who, as far as I can tell, has nothing to do with the guy who (a) got the VS, or (b) was rescued by the guy who got the VC. I keep searching on "peters", and he's never mentioned again. Why is his picture at the top of this article, when the VC was awarded to one Joshua Leakey for rescuing Marine Capt. Brian Bocian?

There are a bunch of other typos in the article, too, which lends an odd aura to an otherwise interesting story.

I'm not defending the quality of the article (it's not very well done), but I believe the reference to "Cpl. Jamie Peters RLC" at the bottom of that picture is the photography credit, not the subject of the photo.

Oh. OK, I guess I could see that, although that style - a name, followed by parentheses - would usually indicate that the name is the person in the picture, and the organization in parentheses is the source. They should have used a comma or something, instead.
