Nope was killed by Argentine machine gun fire whilst attacking a defended position. Should he have been in that position? In my mind no that's not the place for a Commander as to would the Paras have won if he lived, of course they were the better soldiers on the day.

No! he was shot by an Argentinian m.g. position that he failed to observe as he went forward clearing another m.g. position.
