The Paras are Landing by Terence Cuneo. To achieve the effects Terence Cuneo needed to put this subject over with conviction, he stood on a Surrey heath watching men unload form the sky. That seemingly gentle occupation turned out to be a shade less peaceful than he might have supposed. A container came thumping down missing him by a couple of yards, followed rapidly by a paratrooper, whom he had not spotted, missing him by barely two feet. As the aim was obviously improving, Terence Cuneo decided to move on. Luckily, the grounded figures proved far less menacing to portray. (excerpt from Military paintings by Terence Cuneo) |
Lull in the Battle by Terence Cuneo. Depicting 3 Para with the Army Catering Corps at Port San Carlos, Falkland Islands, May 1982. Although catering is its prime function, the ACC takes on many extra tasks on active service. Terence Cuneos painting shows many of the duties the ACC undertook during the Falkland campaign. They were stretcher bearers, and Medical Assistants, helicopter marshalling and loading and manning weapon pits, storing weapons and ammunition and guarding prisoners and still having the evening meal ready on time. |
