Alec George Horwood VC DCM (6 January 1914 – 20 January 1944) was an English posthumous recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.
Mobilised for war in 1939, Horwood was captured at Dunkirk and managed to escape via Antwerp. He was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal for his efforts.
Horwood was 30 years old, and a lieutenant in the 1/6th Battalion, Queen's Royal Regiment (West Surrey), British Army, attached to 1st Battalion, Northamptonshire Regiment during the Second World War when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the Victoria Cross.
On 18 January 1944 at Kyauchaw, Burma (now Myanmar), Lieutenant Horwood accompanied a company into action with his forward mortar observation post. Throughout the day he was in an exposed position and under intense fire, but he came back at night with most valuable information about the enemy. On 19 January he moved forward and established another observation post, directing accurate mortar fire in support of two attacks, and also carrying out personal reconnaissance, deliberately drawing the enemy fire so that their position could be definitely located. On 20 January he volunteered to lead the attack and while doing so was mortally wounded.

George Kennett is a 17 year old central midfielder currently playing for Gillingham Youth Development Academy in England. He is looking to go to the states on a 2013 entry. George's main priority is ball retention. He rarely gives the ball away and is often the anchor in midfield who breaks up play and passes it simple. His passing range is far from limited however and he is comfortable passing with both feet whenever needed. He is a player who never stops running and is highly coachable due to his playing ability and down to earth personality. His full profile can be seen at sportsrecruitingusa.com/george-kennett
