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.
