BRAVERY comes in many forms and that is highlighted in our paper this week.
First we report on Private Paul Willmott who heroically dragged his dead friend's body to safety under enemy fire so it could be returned home. Then we have Kirsty Elwell whose quick-thinking saved the life of a man who had severed a major artery.
What is interesting is both of them belong to a younger generation attacked for its binge drinking, sexual promiscuity and lack of respect.
It is important we remember to define people by their actions and not their age or sweeping generalisations.
