This is the story of how war effects not only the soldiers but also the family and friends surrounding them; in 1982 three friends from a small village in North Wales were sent of the fight in the Falklands Conflict, two of them apart of the Royal Welsh Guards and the other apart of the Royal Navy. This is a short documentary on life after the Falklands when only two of boys returned and how their lives were turned up side down forever.

Something that Stan Collymore should watch and then maybe realize how hurtful his comments are.

Battalion makes emotional return to scene of Falklands bombing

Welsh Guards' Number Two Company deployed in Falklands for first time since 32 soldiers from the battalion were killed in bombing of troop carrier Soldiers returning to the scene of one of their battalion’s deadliest engagements in the Falklands paid an emotional tribute to their fallen comrades. The 1st Battalion Welsh Guards, currently based at Hounslow Cavalry Barracks, suffered some of the biggest losses in the Falklands War in 1982. On June 8 that year, 32 Welsh Guards were among the 48 troops killed when an Argentinian jet bombed the British warship Sir Galahad off the coast of the islands in the South Atlantic Ocean. It was the Army’s highest death toll in a single incident since the Second World War, and the ship’s hulk, which rests on the sea floor 10 miles off the islands’ east coast, is an official war grave.Read more HERE  R.I.P.

Attack on the Galahad and Tistram 29 years ago today

29 years ago today On 8 June 1982 in Port Pleasant, off Fitzroy, on the Falklands Islands  together with RFA Sir Tristram, I sat helplessly and watched  as they were attacked by Argentine aircraft as my missile system failed while they prepared to unload soldiers from the Welsh Guards. A total of 48 soldiers and seamen were killed in the explosions and subsequent fire. Later the hulk was towed out to sea and sunk by HMS Onyx; it is now an official war grave. Never a day goes by when I do not think of that awful day R.I.P
