There is a rather belated obit in the Times 8 June 2022 marking the 40th anniversary of the loss of the Sir Galahad  in the Falklands War. Perhaps someone with a Times sub could provide some suitable extracts?

Obit from the Times of 8 June 2022:
Brigadier Sir Tony Wilson obituary
Falklands conflict infantry commander whose reputation was tarnished by the destruction of the Sir Galahad, 40 years ago today
...Mathew John Anthony (Tony) Wilson was born in London in 1935, the son of Anthony Wilson and Margaret Holden. His paternal grandfather was Sir Mathew Wilson, 4th Baronet of Eshton Hall in Craven, North Yorkshire, to which baronetcy he succeeded in 1991 on the death of an uncle. After Trinity College School, Ontario, and Sandhurst, he was commissioned into the King’s Own Yorkshire Light Infantry in 1956, the fourth consecutive generation of his family to serve in the regiment, and joined the 1st Battalion in Cyprus during the EOKA campaign, subsequently seeing service in the Borneo confrontation and the Aden emergency.
In 1962 he married Janet Mowll, a trainee nurse whom he had met while an instructor at the School of Infantry at Hythe in Kent. Lady Wilson survives him along with a son, Mathew, the seventh baronet, who also served with the Light Infantry, and a daughter, Victoria, a lawyer....
Brigadier Sir Tony Wilson Bt OBE MC, Light Infantry officer, was born on October 2, 1935. The Times did not run an obituary of him when he died after a long illness on December 5, 2019, aged 84. To mark the 40th anniversary of the destruction of the Sir Galahad, we are publishing one now.
