Gary O'Donnell (British Army soldier)
Warrant Officer Class 2 Gary John O'Donnell GM & Bar (21 July 1968 – 10 September 2008) was a British Army bomb disposal expert who was awarded the George Medal twice. The George Medal is the second highest decoration for "acts of great bravery" not "in the face of the enemy". His second George Medal was the first such award in 26 years and the first ever posthumous bar. O'Donnell was killed in an improvised explosive device (IED) attack in Afghanistan.
==Early career==
Born in Edinburgh, O'Donnell was educated at St Thomas of Aquin's High School. He enlisted in the British Army in 1992 and trained as an Ammunition Technician and then was posted to 3 Base Ammunition Depot in Germany. After three tours of ammunition depots, he moved to 11 Explosive Ordnance Disposal Regiment Royal Logistic Corps as a Joint Service Improvised Explosive Device Disposal No. 1 Operator.〔(WO2 Gary O'Donnell—Bomb disposal officer whose technical expertise saved many lives in Iraq and won him the George Medal ), ''The Daily Telegraph'', 19 September 2008. Retrieved on 9 March 2008.〕
As a staff sergeant in 2004 he passed the RLC No 1 IEDD Course as a high-threat operator at the first attempt, one of a small percentage of candidates to do so. He subsequently undertook tours in Sierra Leone and Iraq as well as two tours of both Northern Ireland and Afghanistan.
