In Memory of Cpl. Richard Whittington 14490066
1st Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders
Dickie Whittington was killed in action on  23rd September, 1950 during the battle for Hill 282. Many of the 17 Argylls lost on that day were killed by friendly fire. Although I never meet Dickie I have always been very moved by this picture of him. It was taken in Hong Kong before the battalion shipped out to Korea. I see a young man happy with his beer. A few months later he was killed. Very sad.

In Memory of Cpl Paul Steven Sullivan
D, Company 2nd Battalion the Parachute Regiment. 
Paul was killed in the battle for Goose Green on the 28th May 1982. He was a courageous man and an inspiration to me and this is borne out in the action he was engaged in and that led to his untimely death. We only knew you for 28yrs but that was long enough to know you were the best, and Santana plays on for you. My only regret is that I was not with like I had been before.
