My Dad , Arthur, who sadly passed away recently, joined the Irish Guards in 1957.
 He was in Sgt. H Dalton's Squad at the Guards Depot, Caterham, and later served in Cyprus, where he was awarded a Medal for Bravery for (we believe) saving the lives of some soldiers after their truck overturned in a ditch.

After leaving the Micks he boxed for the London Irish and his opponents included such well-known fighters as 1968 Olympic middleweight champion Chris Finnegan and Mark Rowe.
I would be pleased to hear from anyone who knew him as we know very little about his life in the Guards and the details of how he won his Medal.
