My mistake he was a part time soldier like the national guard in America. He was at his civilian job when attacked.
PS. I got the medal wrong corrected below.
The most decorated UDR soldier was Corporal Eric Glass of the 4th (Co Fermanagh) Battalion who received both the Queen's Gallantry Medal and Distinguished Conduct Medal for bravery. Despite being gravely injured in an IRA ambush Glass managed to survive, killing one of his attackers, Joseph McManus in the process.
