In memory of Sgt Michael Muldoon RADC age 25. 20 March 1973 lured to a party by a
female in Belfast and shot. We were good friends and I wished him well for his
promotion to Sgt and posting to N. Ireland. We both said that we would have a pint
when we met again. We never did and I still think of him, especially on Remembrance
weekend.

I would like to post a poppy to Gunner Victor Mitchell who was killed by
an accidental discharge outside of the Guard Room in Little Aden in
1966. I went through basic training at Oswestry with Vic and he came
from the same town as me, Nottingham. I always watch with pride, the
rememberance day parades each year and when the last post is played
always remember Vic. I also pay my respects to eight others from my
Regiment who were killed in Aden. All rest in Silent Valley Cemetery,
Little Aden. At the going down of the sun, and in the morning we WILL
remember them!

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.

Brigadier David Wilson, known affectionately as 'Chuckles', died at approximately 2030 hrs on Monday 12th November 2001, in hospital in Tunbridge Wells. Chuckles was well respected by all Argyll Korean vets. In 1950 he commanded 'A' Company 1st Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders and lead the company at the battle of Pakchon. Some time ago the Brigadier kindly allowed us to publish his account of the battle " A Sleeping Bag from Pakchon" on this web site. Brigadier Wilson had recently produced a book 'The Sum of Things' which was the tale of episodes in his long and eventful life. |  |

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. |  |

Tommy
was killed in action at Hill 282
23rd September 1950 and posthumously awarded the US Silver Star.
Tommy was attached to the Argylls in Hong Kong, then went with us to Korea,
I know his Family would be pleased if you would place this on the site.
