Corporal Christopher Sean REYNOLDS, The Royal Regiment of Scotland, Sniper Commander, Babaji District, Helmand Province, April - September 2009
Corporal Reynolds has repeatedly demonstrated extreme bravery and outstanding technical ability as a Sniper Commander during offensive operations in Southern Afghanistan. On one occasion, Reynolds exposed himself in order to personally observe the insurgent firing point, realising the imminent danger that the enemy posed, Reynolds engaged with his sniper rifle until he ran out of ammunition, he then grabbed an SA8O, stood up in the face of considerable enemy fire and continued to suppress the enemy. He then picked up a Light Machine Gun and again, fully exposed to the enemy fire, engaged from the rooftop. Throughout the tour, Reynolds has shown extraordinary bravery, whilst understanding the risks to which he was exposed.
