[HMS FEARLESS]
-Amphibious Assault Ship-
HMS Fearless was part of the British Naval Force committed to Operation Corporate the 1982 Falklands War.
Fitted with modern satellite communications equipment, it hosted the staff of amphibious force commander Commodore Michael Clapp (Commodore Amphibious Warfare (COMAW), and the Commanding Officer of 3 Commando Brigade, Brigadier Julian Thompson and his staff, as well as elements of the landing force.
During the conflict, two of the ship's landing craft were involved in rescuing crew from HMS Antelope after it had been bombed by the Argentinian Air Force. Royal Marine Coxswain Corporal Alan White received a commendation from the Task Force Commander, Admiral Sir John Fieldhouse for his part in rescuing 41 crew using Foxtrot 7, one of four LCVP landing craft carried by Fearless.
Colour-Sergeant Brian Johnston was awarded the Queen's Gallantry Medal for rescuing other crew members in Foxtrot 4, a larger LCU landing craft; he and five of F4's crew were killed, and two injured, on 8 June 1982 in an attack by enemy aircraft.
Foxtrot 7 is now located in the Royal Marines Museum in Portsmouth, with detailed accounts from Corporal White of the missions he took part in, including the landings at San Carlos. F4 was replaced but is now named FJ in memory of C-Sgt Johnston.
An Excellent Group with a totally unique medal combination.
Just the presence of a Royal Navy Meritorious Service Medal makes this an exceptionally unusual & desirable group, but when that’s in combination with a B.E.M. a South Atlantic Medal and an LSGC with a 2nd Award Bar it’s unique and a sheer “must have” for a keen naval medal enthusiast.
All medals are “about mint state” and court mounted as worn by the recipient.
