That wonderful young man deserves a George Cross.

[emmie]

[hereIam]

Indeed two good men.

[anneasquith]

Don't think they will get the George Cross though . :-)

Don't think they will get the George Cross though . :-)

The first young man could well be eligible. He resides in the UK and he is a civilian.The George Cross can be awarded to a Civilian for gallantry.
I think he would be eligible for a lesser order The Queens commendation for Brave Conduct.
I know naff all about Indonesian Bravery awards. :-)

The George Cross (GC) is the second highest award of the United Kingdom honours system. It is awarded "for acts of the greatest heroism or for most conspicuous courage in circumstance of extreme danger",[3] not in the presence of the enemy, to members of the British armed forces and to British civilians

A very courageous and quick-witted action. Well done him.
