Once again looking for any further details on this Gunner who is shown on the Cdo Gnr website as 7 Sphinx Bty., having been accidentally shot and killed whilst on duty in Northern Ireland.

From the AFM ROH - 24167846 Gnr Robert Stephen Cutting, RA, 3rd September 1972. Aged 18.

Any info at all with sources please.
Pete Rogers, son of LSgt Joe Rogers MM & nephew of TSM Ken McAllister. Both No2 Commando.

When the danger is passed and all things righted, God is forgotten, and the Soldier slighted.

Anything at all. Detail about the man from someone who knew him, a photo, a source confirming details of death as on the Commando Gunner site, etc.

I have discovered that he was killed in a tragic 'blue on blue' incident and posted the information on our website page now created in memory of Gunner Robert Steven Cutting RA.
