Sgt Noel Connolly, of Manchester, threw himself at the Taliban fighter, who was loaded with 150lb (68kg) of explosives, near a disused school in April.

British troops get nifty techno-gun sights The Ministry of Defence has announced a new £150m purchase of hi-tech weapon sights and optics, saying that the new kit will "improve soldier lethality" and "support the British defence industrial base". Serving soldiers have disparaged only a little of the new kit - and much of the money will in fact be spent overseas.

Small Wars by Sadie Jones: review Hal is a well-regarded Major in the British Army. In 1956 he and his men are in Cyprus attempting to keep the peace, and the Empire, intact. Hal’s homesick wife Clara looks after their twin daughters in Limassol, checking the house each night for bombs. As the terrorism increases, and soldierly conduct sinks into depravity, Hal retreats emotionally and Clara finds small comfort in a talisman given to her by Davis, a naïve army interpreter.
