Des Sinclair MM



The Citation
Sgt Eastwood was appointed to command 5 Platoon, 2RRF, when the battalion joined 3 Division in August 1971.
He has commanded the platoon since then throughout two four month operational tours in Belfast and on overseas training in Canada.
During these 18 months he has earned promotion to first Staff Sergeant and then to Acting Warrant Officer.
From the outset he showed outstanding powers of leadership in what is normally an officer's command.
His exemplary enthusiasm and professionalism have never flagged and he has time and again demonstrated, on operations ,on training and in barracks , that his platoon has been second to none in providing excellent comparison with those commanded by experienced officers.
During eight months of operations he has demonstrated consistently cool, unflappable, sensible, determined and yet sympathetic leadership which has brought him the respect of his men, of his commanders and of the police and civilians with whom his duties have brought him into contact.
On several occasions in July 1972 his platoon came under fire and on each occasion he handled his platoon fearlessly and with tactical skill despite casualties which included his platoon sergeant.
The general performance of this none commissioned officer over the last 18 months has been such that his results have become the standard which young officers now set themselves.
He has therefore ,had a significant personal effect upon the overall ability of the battalion and this is tribute to the example of his outstanding leadership,professionalism and sustained devotion to duty which has been well beyond the quality which might be expected from a none commissioned officer.
