Don't know if he was the last, but he's the only one I can find.

Sergeant Peter Randall, who has died aged 76, was awarded the George Medal for rescuing a soldier from a blazing vehicle in Kenya in 1954. As Randall, ablaze himself, pulled the soldier out of the cab, he remembered a dog was chained up inside. Tearing off his clothes, he re-entered the burning truck to save the animal. Then, with his skin hanging off his body, he staggered 500 yards to seek help. The next month he was told the RSPCA was presenting him with the Margaret Wheatley Cross. He was a devoted dog man for the rest of his life.



Maybe one of the soldiers in the Hyde Park nailbomb attack when Sefton and the other horses were injured?
