  • Lt Col Willy McCracken MC

    Willy was attached to both 2 & 3 PARA in their battles during Op Corporate, he could bring the naval gunfire down on a sixpence & undoubtably saved lives.

    R.I.P. Sir, my sincere condolences to your family & friends.

    Lieutenant-Colonel Willy McCracken, who has died aged 62, commanded an Artillery and Naval Gunfire Forward Observation (NGFO) party in the Falklands campaign and was awarded an MC.
