The bravery medals of a Falklands War hero who led an epic assault during the legendary Battle of Goose Green are being sold by his widow for £70,000.

Corporal Barry 'Baz' Grayling broke cover to charge an enemy machine gun nest which was holding up the British advance at Coronation Ridge.

The 19-year-old soldier was fired at from point blank range but his life was saved by his water bottle which deflected the bullets.

The bottle exploded, shattering his hip 10 yards from the post, but as he fell to the ground he kept firing, taking out an Argentine machine gunner.

Tragically, his best friend Lance Corporal Garry 'Gaz' Bingley, who charged alongside him, was shot in the head and killed.
