Q.G.M. London Gazette 8 October 1982: Third Officer Andrew Gudgeon, Royal Fleet Auxiliary ‘Third Officer Gudgeon had been relieved in RFA Sir Galahad at Plymouth on 4 April 1982, but volunteered to remain during the Falkland Island campaign. On two occasions during this time he showed great courage in risking his life in order to save others. When H.M.S. Antelope blew up and caught fire in San Carlos Water, he volunteered to cox the crash boat to pick up survivors. This he did knowing that H.M.S. Antelope had a second unexploded bomb onboard. Despite the fire spreading rapidly, and spent Seacat missiles landing nearby, he carried out the rescue of several survivors in a cool and determined manner. Later, when Sir Galahad was bombed by Argentine aircraft and set on fire at Fitzroy Creek, the accommodation aft was rapidly set on fire and quickly filled with acrid smoke. Third Officer Gudgeon, wearing breathing apparatus, entered the area to search for people trapped. On his way towards the Galley he found someone at the foot of the ladder, trapped by debris but still alive. He made an unsuccessful attempt to move him and then decided to seek assistance, but as there were no more sets of breathing apparatus, he returned to make another rescue attempt. Unfortunately the man died. Third Officer Gudgeon placed his concern for others above his own safety and carried out his tasks with great courage and determination.’
