Condition EF Sold by direct order of the recipient. The following information is his account of his service. I was a member of a 4 man Patrol with D Ptl Coy ( 42 B ), Basically we were the eyes and ears for the battalion and Command, each patrol would consist of a Ptl Cmdr, a Lead Scout, a Gunner and a Radio Operator, the task of a Medic within the patrol was a joint effort between the four members, I myself was the Lead Scout for 42B, whilst on patrol I would be pushed a little further than the other three. The CO of 3 Para would get his orders from on high and he would then disseminate and give out missions to do , for instance a CTR ( Close Tgt Recce ) where the Ptl would get as close as possible and even inside the enemy area and monitor / gather as much Intel as possible to feed back to battalion command. Whilst in an OP ( Observation Post ), we could be some distance away and bring in a fire mission from our artillery, which we did using a Marine Artillery Unit 29 Commando, onto Mt Longdon, which was 3 Para's objective. Patrols were also used to find safe routes to what is called a Start Line, where you would bring in the Riffle Company/ies so they could get themselves sorted and wait for H Hour. When it was all over and time for tea and medals, I was very happy to learn that I had been promoted in the field to Lance Corporal, a bit of a rarity since WWII. There's other tasks that as a Company we would be required to do such as lay down markers ( DZ- Drop Zone ) for incoming troops and or Eqp't. A few of us actually did lay down markers in the form of a Special DZ on the Racecourse area for a drop of Eqpt via a Hercules C130, only to be told while we were waiting for the aircraft , that we were in a minefield ( comical I know ) so we than had to wait until someone managed to find the Argentine Engineer officer who hopefully still had the layout document so we could all walk out unscathed. I remained in D Ptl Coy until 85 when It was decided that the 5th Airborne Brigade be equipped with a Pathfinder Platoon, a number of men were pulled/volunteered from the Regiments 3 Battalions and other arms that were parachute trained, ie Royal Engineers, the Guards. We numbered around 32 all ranks. In 1987, I was posted back to 3 Para for the upcoming tour of NI in 89 and took up a position within B Coy; towards the end of that 2-year tour, I was posted back to the Depot in Aldershot. After leaving the army I worked within the security circuit providing close protection and performing other security related tasks, this took me up to 2003 when I relocated to Iraq providing security for a British Company who had won contracts from the US DoD. My time in Iraq ended in 2010 when the US pulled out across the Kuwaiti Border. I then relocated to Afghanistan, again providing security on US FOB's. Condition EF

This chimney piece was most likely located in School of Medicine at 4 Cecilia Street, Dublin 2.

Signed and dated indistinctly (apparently 1799), bears old inscribed label on stretcher (now stained and illegible), oil on canvas 54.5 x 84.5cm.; with an ink key identifying all the vessels (possibly by Luny), entitled `Battle of the Nile on Augst 2.1798, taken at the time the Zealous Capt Hood is going down to prevent the escape of two french line of Battle Ships and two frigate`, 23 x 36.5cm. (2) Provenance: Acquired, c.1980, by a descendant of Viscount Hood; and thence by descent * After landing Napoleon's army to conquer Egypt and to drive eastward, the French fleet moored in a strategic place of safety in Aboukir Bay on the Mediterranean coast. Nelson's fleet tracked them down and launched straight into battle at sundown on August 1st 1798. Soon overwhelmed, the French flagship was set ablaze and blew up and by the next day just two French ships of the line and two frigates remained. It has long been regarded as the most complete victory in the age of sail, isolating Napoleon and his army in North Africa and creating conditions in which the coalition against France could be developed. Within a span of barely 24 hours, Nelson's reputation as a naval hero was assured after this demonstration of swift and ruthless superiority. Viscount Hood's role in the Battle was no less decisive. In `Zealous`, he also crossed the French line and anchored alongside the French ship `Guerrier` in the space that Captain Foley had envisaged for his own vessel `Goliath`. Hood soon engaged the lead ship's bow from close range and, within five minutes, the foremast of the French vessel had fallen. The swiftness of the move raised loud cheers from the emboldened crews of the British ships. *CR Old lining ; scattered retouching; slight skinning off surface glazes; needs a clean.
