There is also the fact that the Argentinian forces were known to possess excellent signal interception mechanisms - this required him, and his patrol, to constantly change location - not easy when in close contact!Added to title. the scale that is. He does look rather nice. the sculpt that is.
A little info on the man:
Sergeant J G Mather MM G Squadron SAS (Royal Signals) commanded a four-man SAS patrol which was inserted into East Falkland by helicopter from the Naval Task Force at a distance of 120 miles from the islands. Mather maintained observations of the enemy movement and dispositions in the Bluff Cove, West Stanley areas for a period of 28 days. In a totally hostile environment, with the only protection from ground and air search provided by the skill and stealth of his patrol, the reporting by Sergeant Mather was both accurate and timely.
For the leadership and example shown Sergeant Mather was awarded the Military Medal. Mather Troop was named after him at 2nd Army Training Regiment at Pirbright.
