These pages are currently under construction and will be officially announced on June 14th 1997 to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the end of the Falklands War. In the meantime I'm making them available in the hope that I get some feedback as to regards content.

There are many events that happen during our life times and some are destined to live with us for ever. These events can be of global importance and touch the lives of many whilst others are of a deeply personal nature that effect only the individual.

The events that took place in the South Atlantic have for most been forgotten, but for those who were there and for those who had loved ones in the war zone the events that took place in the two and half months of 1982 will live for them forever.

I dedicate these pages to the men and women of both sides who suffered so cruelly, especially my mother. Let the lessons of yesterday never be forgotten and the blood of young Argentine and British men be spilt to make up for the failures of our politicians.

As an 18 year old soldier I remember the events very well. I was the pay clerk for Right Flank of the 2nd Battalion Scots Guards and accompanied the company throughout the campaign. A campaign which was for me to culminate in the Battle for Mount Tumbledown and the most memorable night of my life. Throughout these pages I will attempt to put in words what I remember about the event. I kept no diary and therefore the event will be as I recall it and not necessarily as it happened. Where I know what I saw was incorrect I will also include a description of what actually happened, even eye witnesses get things wrong.

So what do you remember ? What were you doing in early 1982 ?

Whether you are a student, a veteran or just interested please take your time to look around and if you have any comments please let me know. My aim is to make this the first stop for anybody interested in this subject.

I would like to make it very clear from the start that I do not intend to offend anybody reading these pages. The subject of the Falklands/Malvinas is very close to many peoples hearts and I have no wish to open old wounds. However, due to the lack of English translated documentation I know that it will be hard to give a creditable description of how the war was perceived and fought from the Argentine side. I will endeavour to correct this as and when more information becomes available to me.

For reasons of clarity I will refer to the Islands and the locations on them by the names given to them by the British.

Do you know of anybody who would be interested in producing a Spanish version of these pages ? Do you have any information related to any of these subjects that you think would be of interest ? Are you a veteran yourself and would like to say something ?

If the answer to any of these questions are yes then please do not hesitate to contact me
