AN ARMY explosives expert from Didcot was named Britain’s Most Outstanding Soldier last night.
Sergeant Major Karl Ley, of the Royal Logistic Corps, who is based at Vauxhall Barracks, was honoured at The Sun Military Awards 2010.
The father-of-three has so far defused 139 improvised explosive devices in Afghanistan. In just 72 hours last November, he defused 28 IEDs and tackled 14 other bombs.
He received his award from I’m a Celebrity winner Stacey Solomon.
The ceremony will be broadcast on ITV1 tomorrow night at 9pm.
