Lance Corporal 24319796, 2nd Battalion, The Parachute Regiment. Died 27th August 1979. Born 24 December 1954. Aged 24. Grave E. 1052.

Died at Warrenpoint, described by the Paras as their worst post war disaster. In a carefully organised attack the IRA first blew up a parked trailer on a dual carriageway running parallel with Carlingford Lough as an Army convoy passed. Six were killed in the initial blast. But the IRA had anticipated where the soldiers would set up their command centre after the blast behind a nearby wall and had concealed another 800lb device there. The second explosion half an hour after the first, killed twelve more soldiers. Major Fursman, commanding, died with fifteen other Paras, all members of the 2nd Battalion.
