Cause of Death:Killed in action, in Operation Sceptic, Ratel gunner (Call Sign 9G) approached anti aircraft positions head-on, taking full frontal raking fire. As gunner he gallantly retaliated but died 4 hours later after being shot as he jumped off the top of the immobilized vehicle. Badly injured he fell to the ground where he lost blood and peacefully slipped away in the arms of a friend tending in futility as the battle raged round.
