Harry looked dapper in a grey suit and wore military medals as he honoured Sgt Talaiasi, who was killed in the Battle of Mirbat in 1972.He was stationed in Oman with eight SAS soldiers on a secret assignment, codenamed Operation Jaguar.
When their hideout was ambushed, he sprinted - under enemy fire - to a heavy artillery gun which usually requires three men to operate.
