Philip M. C. Bambridge was born in Woolwich, London, in 1963. A note which accompanies the medal states that it was purchased direct from the recipient in May 2005 at a time when he was working as a taxi driver in the Twickenham area. This location correlates with the recipient marrying Miss Linda B. Schultes in northern Surrey in 1991. The details add that Bambridge served with ‘Condor Troop’, 59 Commando Squadron, Royal Engineers, 45 Commando Group, which was heavily engaged in the clearance of mines and booby traps, and later took part in the yomp to Port Stanley.
