Eric Quirk served in Korea, 1952
A Manx resident and military veteran has received a medal recognising his service in Korea, 1952.
Eric Quirk was a wireless operator in the 14th Regiment Royal Artillery and supported the 1st Battalion of the Black Watch on the second Battle of the Hook.
The Korean government issued medals to troops from New Zealand, Canada, America, Australia and Great Britain.
Mr Quirk explained to Manx Radio's Christian Jones, why it's taken more than 70-years to receive the medal:
Manxman won't return to service until end of September
Steam Packet urged to be more 'transparent' over Manxman issues
Government needs to 'break the cycle' of child poverty on Island
Proportion on waiting lists likely higher than England
