The gallantry medal awarded to a heroic army soldier who was wrongly accused of war crimes during the battle of Danny Boy in the Iraq War has sold for £55,000.<br />
<br />
Corporal Mark Byles received the Military Cross for taking an enemy trench during a life-or-death, full frontal assault in which he killed several insurgents.<br />
<br />
He later had to deny claims he and his colleagues tortured and murdered prisoners brought by the disgraced lawyer Phil Shiner.
