ArmorGroup, the leading international provider of protective security services, is very pleased to announce that Terry Goodman, one of its group company employees, has today been awarded the Royal Humane Society’s Silver Medal, the highest honour the Society can bestow. Terry was granted the honour, which is awarded to those who have put themselves in extreme personal danger, for his rescue of a wounded colleague in Iraq while under sustained insurgent fire and while he was seriously injured himself.
Terry (31), a former British Army soldier from Essex, was a vehicle commander in a three vehicle ArmorGroup protective security detail (PSD) team operating in southern Iraq at the time of the incident in June 2007 .The colleague he rescued was Darryl Lowery, a former Australian soldier, who was the commander of one of the other vehicles in the team.
The team was returning from a mission near Basrah when a roadside Improvised Explosive Device (IED) detonated against the left hand side of the Darryl’s vehicle, causing it to be immobilised. Darryl was badly injured in the attack, with multiple shrapnel wounds to both legs and his right foot, while his Iraqi driver was killed.The team immediately came under sustained and heavy small arms fire and Terry’s vehicle was also struck by three Rocket Propelled Grenades from the side of the road.
