Commendation for British army medic caring for comrades while under fire
Queen's Commendation for Valuable Service to Private Abbie Martin, who was supporting a company operation in the Green Zone to the southeast of a patrol base when insurgents initiated an ambush from multiple firing points. Whilst under fire, Abbie – then 19 – headed across open ground with the platoon sergeant to treat a guardsman who had sustained a gunshot wound to the chest. Due to the severity of his wounds, Abbie remained with the guardsman throughout the casualty evacuation, selflessly exposing herself to enemy fire in order to ensure that the clinical handover to the evacuating helicopter crew gave him the best possible chances of survival. Throughout each action, Abbie was steadfast, putting her patients before herself, despite the dangers.
