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]
