Timeline
In September 2013 O'Donnell's set of ten of his medals together with three letters on Buckingham Palace headed paper from Princess Anne, the colonel-in-chief of the Royal Logistic Corps, was sold at auction for £110,000.
On 6 March 2009, O'Donnell was posthumously awarded a Bar to his George Medal for "repeated and sustained acts of immense bravery" in Afghanistan. His Bar was the first to the George Medal awarded in 26 years.
O'Donnell served one tour in Afghanistan in 2007 and returned in 2008. He worked defusing roadside bombs in Helmand Province, defusing 50 of the devices. On 26 August 2008 he was awarded the Long Service and Good Conduct Medal. In September 2008 O'Donnell was attempting to disarm an IED near Musa Qala, Helmand Province, when he was killed as he approached a booby-trapped bomb.
His body was returned to the UK and his funeral service was held on 29 September 2008. The service was accompanied by full military honours, and was followed by a cremation at Oakley Wood Crematorium, Bishop's Tachbrook.
By 2006 O'Donnell was employed as an IEDD operator in southern Iraq. He was awarded his first George Medal for "persistent courage" for his work in Basra. On 23 May 2006, rockets on a timing device were being fired at Basra Air station. When a rocket was discovered with the timer set, O'Donnell decided to minimise the risk to the airbase by manually disabling it as quickly as possible, which meant placing himself in the line of fire of the rocket.
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.
O'Donnell enlisted in the British Army in 1992, trained as an Ammunition Technician and 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.
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, after the George Cross, 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.
