The Falklands 25th Anniversary
On the 2nd April 1982 Argentina invaded Port Stanley, the capital of the Falkland Island Dependancies. With only 80 marines for defence, the Islands and South Georgia were quickly overrun. A British task force was rapidly gathered to retake the Islands, with its' land element centered on 3 Commando Brigade RM.
O tempora, o mores for those glorious days.
