My friend from university Paul Pitchfork has been awarded the Military Cross for his efforts in Helmand province last year. It's a far cry from when we used to kick about: "In a fire-fight that lasted more than ten hours, the inspirational officer was under direct fire as he commanded his troops against a determined enemy." Ten hours. Completely outside my comprehension, and really quite awe-inspiring. Congratulations, Pitch.
