On 7 August 2008, a vehicle in Sapper Waring’s patrol was destroyed by an improvised explosive device in Zhari District, Afghanistan. Immediately after the initial blast, the enemy engaged them with small arms and rocket-propelled grenades. With rounds landing around him, he cleared a safe lane to the casualty collection point and selflessly returned to extract the wounded before personally engaging the enemy. Private Waring’s courage and composure under fire ensured the successful extraction and defence of the casualties.
