CitationsDFC - On Friday 28th May 1982 the 2nd Battalion The Parachute Regiment was engaged in fierce fighting to take enemy positions in the area of Port Darwin

From dawn, Lieutenant Nunn, a Scout helicopter pilot, had supported the Battalion flying vital ammunition forward to the front line and had evacuated casualties heedless of enemy ground fire

After flying continuously for three and a half hours, it was learnt that the Commanding Officer and others in Battalion Tactical Headquarters forward had been severly wounded, Lieutenant Nunn was tasked to evacuate these casualties collecting the Battalion Second in Command en route

However, five minutes after take off, suddenly and without prior warning, two Pucare aircraft appeared from the South and attacked the Scout with rockets and cannon fire

By great flying skill Lieutenant Nunn evaded the first attack but on the second his aircraft was hit and destroyed

Lieutenant Nunn was killed instantly and his aircrewman Sergeant Belcher was grieviously wounded

Lieutenant Nunn displayed exceptional courage, flying skill and complete devotion to duty in the face of the enemy

His achievements that day, supporting the Battalion, were exceptional and were instrumental in the eventual victory.

George CrossGeorge Cross
CitationsGC - Staff Sergeant Schmid was a High Threat Improvised Explosive Device Disposal (IEDD) Operator in Helmand from June 2009 until his death in action on 31 October 2009

He deployed at the height of Operation PANTHER'S CLAW and went immediately into the fray, into one of the most physically draining, mentally intense and hazardous jobs in Helmand

Typically, having to deploy on foot, thereby precluding the option of specialist protective equipment and severely limiting the use of remote controlled vehilles, he spent long periods of time in close proximitity to Victim Operated IED(VOIED) and in the gravest personal danger

Before his death in action he responded to 42 IED tasks, personally dealing wtih 70 confirmed IEDs

A number of examples illustrate his bravery...His selfless gallantry, his devoiton to duty, and his indefatigable courage displayed time and time again saved coutless military and civilian lives and is worthy of the highest recognition.
