 WAR HERO CRAIG LUNDBERG

Liverpool Olympic Flame Ceremony 2012

Liverpool celebrates the Olympics held in England in 2012, with a ceremony involving the Olympic Flame.

Craig Lundberg a blind Iraq war hero carried the Olympic Torch on the Mersey Ferry from Birkenhead to Liverpool's Pier Head.

 

Craig was a lance corporal in the 2nd Battalion Duke of Lancaster when he was blinded during a rooftop battle with insurgents in Basra in March 2007. A rocket-propelled grenade exploded when it hit the body armour on his chest, leaving him with arm and facial injuries.

Despite the pain, he insisted on picking up his rifle and continuing to lead his men to fight.

he received a commendation for his bravery in Iraq.

He was given a joint commanders’ commendation by Major General Hamish Rollo at the regimental headquarters of the Duke of Lancaster Regiment, in Preston.

The citation reads: “The gallantry displayed by LCpl Lundberg that night was without equal. His bravery under fire despite serious injury ensured his section continued to fight bravely in a desperate situation.”
