Brian Faulkner DCM (born 11 August 1947) is a former soldier of the Parachute Regiment in the British Army and a veteran of the Falklands War during which he was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM) for bravery.[1][2] This was a field award for other ranks of the British Army and was the oldest British award for gallantry, at that time ranking second only to the Victoria Cross. His DCM was one of only eight awarded during the conflict,[3] five of which were awarded to the Parachute Regiment.[4] Faulkner is a member of The Gallantry Medallists' League of the United Kingdom.[5] He received his medal from Queen Elizabeth II during an investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace in 1982.[6]
