    PHOTOS FROM HISTORY

    A hurried photo of 11 Platoon, D Company, The 2nd Battalion The Parachute Regiment, waiting to load up onto a Sea King at Fitzroy during the Falklands War.
    The three pictured are, left to right, Private Dave Parr RIP, Lance Corporal Neil Turner and Private Terry Stears.
    This is the last photograph of Dave Parr RIP, who was killed shortly afterwards during the assault on Wireless Ridge on the night of 13-14 June 1982. He had earlier been shot during the Battle of Goose Green.
    RIP young man
