CITATIONS

Weekend Patrol of Bruges and the Ypres Salient

9 – 11 August 2002

CPL Dermody - The No Flies on Me Award (posthumous)
Despite missing the train to begin with; having his car impounded when his girlfriend was meant to go away for the weekend; and spilling a beer on the Eurostar, CPL Dermody bravely dismissed this evidence to claim that "You've got no sh*t on me!"
CPL Mullen - The 'I'm too sexy for my mates' Award
Despite being hampered by Clark Kent good looks and natural charm way beyond those of his fellow patrol members, Cpl Mullen bravely, single-handed and ignoring the threat of bodily harm defeated the advances of two dodgy North American birds.
CPL Henderson - The Bolivian Army Star 
The Bolivian Army, famous for having lost every war they have ever entered, are proud to pass on this award to CPL Henderson for attempting to lose everything in his possession over the weekend.

CPL Jackson - The Private Pile Award for Most Improved.

After being warned by his wife prior to departure not to think that he could "keep up with the other boys" and initially demonstrating a disgraceful attempt to turn away a beer on the first night, he fought on bravely throughout the weekend. He went on to describe the drinking of a 1.2 litre jug of beer as "one of the finest moments in my life."
