Andy Peat - human shield. Warrant Officer Andy Peat, a Scottish explosives expert with the Royal Logistical Corps, was working with a special forces unit of the Danish army in Afghanistan in January when a bomb went off, seriously wounding one of the soldiers. WO Peat, 39, disarmed a second bomb, but after a medical team arrived, noticed another, right in the path of stretcher-bearers. Realising that it could detonate at any moment, killing or maiming everyone in the group, he lay across it as a human shield until the evacuation party had left. In August, WO Peat was awarded Denmark’s Anders Lassen prize – given in memory of the country’s greatest WW2 hero. Aware that the Danish soldier had died, Andy donated his prize – over £3,000 – to his widow and children.
