Major Ian Newby, Bombardier Kevin Walker, Captain Peter Faliszewski, Gunner Ramnik Lal, Bombardier Richard Fowler, Master Bombardier Keith Laing and Bombardier Colin Parkinson, Officer Cadet Paul Lee, Master Warrant Officer Ron Paterson, Warrant Officer Brian Hill.

Send me your stories! Check out the rest of the pictures here.
