Best Answer

Private Ian Scrivens was a 17 year old from the 3rd Battalion, The Parachute Regiment when he was killed on Mount Longdon on 11 June 1982. He and 3 other friends, all 17 years old, joined up. Privates Scrivens, Jason Burt and Neil Grose, were killed the same day, but Scrivens was the youngest of the group.

Mark Eyles-Thomas, who is now in his late 40s, was the only one of the 4 friends who survived.
