British Soldier A Hero BEFORE He Leaves For Afghanistan, Saves Accident Victim

This is truly an amazing story, folks! And one has to ask themselves, how many people in this world could have and would have reacted the way this young British soldier did? And his training in the military simply saved lives here. I don't care if this young man is British or if he was French, Italian, Danish, Canadian or American - the young men and women of armed forces around the Western world are made of this...it is an honor to walk the Earth with these heroes...they never cease to amaze me.

'Hero' soldier saves car crash girl


An Army officer about to deploy to Afghanistan has been hailed "a hero" and "an angel" for saving the life of a girl involved in a serious car crash.
Captain Dominic Masters had only just completed a military first aid course when he witnessed a Renault Clio swerve and overturn into a ditch near the Solstice Services on the A303, outside Amesbury, Wiltshire.
Capt Masters, 32, a staff officer, who was driving to his base in Netheravon, Wiltshire, rushed to the scene and pulled out a shaken Emma White, 34, and her 12-year-old daughter Bethany through an open window of the wreckage.
But then, on learning that her 13-year-old daughter Megan was still inside, he crawled through the window to find her hanging limp upside down in a seatbelt with what turned out to be serious head and spinal injures.
Capt Masters immediately put his recently-learned battlefield casualty procedures into practice and stabilised her before the paramedics arrived.
The soldier then stayed inside the car, giving Megan oxygen, while the fire brigade cut her free. Megan was then flown by helicopter to Salisbury District Hospital and then on to Southampton.
Capt Masters visited Megan, who fell into a coma, in hospital and is now following her recovery at her home in Winchester.
Capt Masters, who has previously served in Iraq and Northern Ireland, said: "The moment I saw the crash I thought 'That's going to be bad' and my first thought was for the people in the car. The vehicle's wheels were spinning and the engine was running and the windows were smashed and I didn't know what I'd find but realised it wasn't likely to be easy to deal with.
"I also knew I had to get whoever was inside out as quickly as possible because of the risk of a fire. It's good to be able to use my first aid training but I'm not a hero. The real heroes are the paramedics, fire and rescue and police who face these sorts of scenes day in, day out - they should be the ones to be praised."
Megan's grandmother, Pauline, said Capt Masters was "a hero" and "an angel" after medics said the teenager would have died or have been at the least paralysed if it were not for his actions.
