I think you had on a wind proof but I couldn't swear to it. When they took the casualty away to your right (as you look at the photograph) I pulled over the poncho and tucked it around you to keep you warm.  As I said I was with you for about 10 minutes.  Then they took you away.here is another by a medic.JimmyI am almost certain that it is you in the photograph.  I remember you now and also remember Neil Parkin (medic) - who sadly died of cancer a few years ago) taking a jacket off one of the Argentine casualties who were in the aid post and placing it on a 3 Para soldier who was drifting in and out of consciousness and shivering, I believe that soldier was you.  I was there helping when the casi-vac helicopter came in Thanks for contacting me Jimmy and I hope this helps clarify something, the more I think about it I am certain it is you in the picture as the Argentine jacket and the similar injuries are to much of a coincidence.All the best Jimmy and take care.if this is translated wrongly could someone who is more fluent in English please translate.i am just trying to confirm that it is me in the photo, and if not who it is as i have contacted the photographer who says it is Oscar Carrizo but the photo of Oscar shows him with his hat on looking quite well. i would be grateful for any assistance from fellow veterans of Mount Longdonbye for now Jimmy</blockquote>
