    1982 May 21 San Carlos Landings (42 CDO, Brigade reserve before seizing Mount Kent)

    1982 June 11-12 Mount Harriet ( J-Coy, K-Coy 1,2 & 3 Troop, L-Coy 4,5 & 6 Troop)

    1982 Apr. 2-

    You might well be able to find out more about this man. These units were small and many of the lads knew each other well. heck-Prosper Keating might have met him.

    Try the South Atlantic Medal Assn. web site.

    Thanks for that Ulsterman, I have been on this particular website a couple of times viewing only, are you suggesting asking for information from members of the site?

    Nice website of Prosper Keatings, I will remember this site when I pick up a para medal :P

    Best regards Geoff :beer:
