The QUEEN has been graciously pleased to approve the Posthumous award of the Distinguished Service Medal to the undermentioned in recognition of gallant and distinguished service during the operations in the South Atlantic:

Acting Corporal Aircrewman Michael David LOVE, Royal Marines, P035079S

Corporal Love, 846 Naval Air Squadron, completed seven operational sorties in very hazardous conditions. He played a vital part in the success of these missions and displayed remarkable skill, bravery and resilience during periods of intense activity. Sadly, he was later killed in a flying accident but his great contribution to the success of the Squadron’s operations will always remain a source of inspiration.

 

 

Family and friends are encouraged to contribute.

We will add information to this memorial as we receive it.
