I am beginning to suspect their is confusion between the grenade and the parachute incidents as I cannot recall of hearing another grenade incident within the Regiment during that year.

Mike I do know that a Pte Mike Woods (first name?)died in a jump in Germany. He originally was in J Coy 2RCR. He was posted to Germany the same time I was in 1980. That was the year we had a drowning also.
