I agree that this guy should have recieved the VC, but if you read the article it says why there is a diffeance, VC is awarded for gallantry up and above the call of duty, under enemy fire, the GC is awarded for he same reason, but not under enemy fire, but to me a hero is a hero, and this chaps act was very selfless and with no thought for his own safety
