The exceptional Military Cross, medal group and effects of Corporal David James Hayden R8432726 RAF, the first non-commissioned officer to ever be awarded the Military Cross and recipient of the only Military Cross issued to the RAF for the Iraq campaign.Cpl. Hayden was awarded the Military Cross for outstanding courage and gallantry in 2007 when 1 Squadron RAF Regiment were attacked during a patrol of the village of Al-Waki near Basra in Iraq – this was the first major foot patrol encounter involving the RAF Regiment since UK forces first arrived in Iraq in 2003. Leading Aircraftman Martin Beard was fatally wounded in the firefight and Corporal Hayden instantly volunteered to rescue Beard, unaware that he had already passed away and regardless of the approximately fifty enemy combatants firing on his position; Hayden then brought Beard’s body back to safety under heavy fire, killing a Taliban soldier en-route. His citation for the honour reads as follows: ‘Without a second thought for his own safety, Hayden volunteered to carry the injured man out of the firefight. He dashed across open ground under a hail of enemy small arms fire. Hayden ran fully upright with the man on his shoulders to safety, having been exposed to enemy fire for the whole distance’.And yet, despite this obvious heroism, Hayden was keen to play down his own part: ‘At the end of the day it's all about teamwork. There wasn't just me on the ground that day, there were another 40 blokes who seemingly did as much as I did. There is no I in team, we are one big team and I dedicate this to all the lads in 1 Squadron RAF Regiment’.Martin Beard’s elder sister Victoria paid tribute to Cpl. Hayden: 'God only knows what would have happened to Martin if he hadn't gone out there to get him back. It really doesn't bear thinking about. It was entirely thanks to David that we were able to fly Martin home, and I can't thank him enough. David is an extremely modest man and has said he's no hero, but he is a hero to everyone in our family.'This exceptional group also includes the wristwatch and dog tags (including that given by the Padre when administering the Last Rites to Beard) which Cpl. Hayden wore during the campaign, his RAF No. 1 Ceremonial Dress Uniform in which he received the Military Cross personally from Queen Elizabeth II, his RAF Regiment belt, photographs, letters and clippings relating to the event and Hayden's part in local community projects afterwards, a wooden Squadron Insignia, RAF Leadership An Anthology 2nd Edition (2009) in which Hayden is referenced, a US Army Embedded Training Team Afghan Ministry of Interior Air Interdiction Unit Certificate of Appreciation, a copy of the poem ‘The Battle of Al Waki’ by Willie Downie and a limited edition print titled ‘Al Waki’ depicting Hayden and his fellow troops during the conflict signed by the artist Stuart Brown, Cpl.

The rare and important military honour medal group and related items of Major Antony Harrison Douglas MBE BSc Eng Psc(n)+ RE, a Sapper in the Royal Engineers who served in the Falklands with 11 Field Squadron. Comprising South Atlantic Medal with Rosette, General Service Medal with Northern Ireland clasp, MBE, miniature trio, Royal Engineers cap badge, Harrier Support Force cloth badge & another, pair of spurs, map of the Falklands, MBE citation signed by HRH Queen Elizabeth II & Prince Philip, Officer citation, Royal Engineers dress sword with shagreen grip & engraved blade inscribed "A.H. Douglas 9-3-73", khaki uniform and dress jacket, newspaper articles, photograph, a bottle of "Task Force Special Ale" issued by the Sunday Mirror, a Falkland Islands 50 pence bank note and a folder of letters congratulating Major Douglas on receiving his MBE.Major Douglas joined the army in the 1970's and during an extremely varied career served in Northern Ireland for four and a half months during the height of the Troubles. In one of the highlights of this tour his squadron was given the task of demolishing the Creggan Wall which separated Catholic and Protestant estates in Londonderry. He also served in Germany, Canada and Belize where he was seconded to the Governor's Office to help staff the Independence celebrations in 1981.After the Argentinians invaded the Falkland Islands on 2nd April 1982, Major Douglas's 11 Squadron (he was second-in-command at the time) was part of the Task Force deployed to regain control of the territory, of which, much like the rest of the population of the UK, he had never heard before. First they spent a few weeks loading up equipment and supplies, as their primary task was to provide a forward operating base (FOB) for the Harrier Force providing critical air cover during the operation. After supplies were loaded, the squadron departed in early May and met up with the rest of the Task Force on Ascension Island in the mid-Atlantic where an RAF air base had been established. 11 Squadron then sailed to the Falklands on the RFA Sir Bedivere and went ashore on the 23rd May as part of the initial landings to Port San Carlos. Unfortunately, the ship carrying the supplies that the squadron had spent several weeks preparing was torpedoed by the Argentinian Air Force so they improvised with what remaining supplies were available.The Argentinian forces surrendered on 14th June, 74 days after they first invaded. 11 Squadron was amongst the first troops sent into Stanley, the capital of the territory, to clear the landmines and make it safe. The town normally had a population of around 900. However, in the aftermath of the conflict there were some 3,000 British troops and 10,000 Argentinian troops, overwhelming the infrastructure. Major Douglas and the rest of 11 Squadron eventually returned to Britain in mid-September after successfully ensuring the town of Stanley was safe and secure for its inhabitants.Major Douglas was awarded his MBE in 1985 whilst back in the Falklands with 11 Squadron. This time he was Commanding Officer, tasked with keeping the airfield operational as a bridgehead to deter any further invasion. He also worked as a Staff Officer at the Ministry of Defence, doing ground work for various senior officers. In August 1990, he was asked to prepare a brief detailing the operational effectiveness of the army, which he prepared overnight. It was shown to Margaret Thatcher the next day, who used it in making the decision to commit a brigade to the Persian Gulf to retake Kuwait after the Iraqi invasion.
