Stephen McAllister White of East Kilbride, South Lanarkshire, attested for the Royal Artillery in May 1979. As a member of 7 (Sphinx) Commando Battery R.A., he served with the regiment in Northern Ireland and in the Falklands Campaign. In the latter conflict, 7 Commando Battery with its' six L118 105mm light guns was actively involved, and at the end of the conflict was tasked with clearing Argentinian gun positions on Sapper Hill, west of Port Stanley. White left the Regular Army in June 1985 - his conduct and character marked as 'Exemplary' - with a glowing report from his Commanding Officer which heaped much praise regarding his attitude, extra-curricular activities (he was a member of the Battery football team) and efforts to keep himself fit in-line with the Battery's Commando role.
