    What a brilliant video! Very informative and educational.
    I've been to the Falklands, but the missus knows very little about them, so she really enjoyed watching this, she found it really interesting. Oh, and that camp spot looked the bollocks! Nice one, mate.

    Couple of my mates lost their brother on the Galahad , saw his name on the memorial you showed, Sgt John Elley. All from the Pontypridd area, Terry was in the Welsh Guards, Peter was in the Royal Marines, I know they've been out to visit the memorial. It must be good for them to know the memorial is being well looked after. Thanks for taking the time to show us mate. All the best Mally

    Only just came across this excellent vid. I was down there merely 3 months ago where i stayed in Stanley with good friends Mike McLeod and his wife Margaret. Both Mike and Margaret are extremely knowledgeable of all what happened in 82 as they both lived through it as a young teens. They are both truly wonderful people and have tremendous love and respect for all the forces involved in the liberation of their homeland. If you need any more detailed information on the battle sites, look him up in Short St, Stanley (everyone knows him) and im sure he will be more than happy to give you a tour of the battlefields as thats what he does for a living now that hes retired. You couldnt meet a more fabulous group of people than the Falkland Islanders. Couldnt help noticing how overcome you were at the memorial at San Carlos. It also got me right in the feels too.

    Great trip and great vid, thanks. Respect. I was 8 when the Falklands kicked off, still got newspapers and magazines somewhere. Mum used to work at Copenacre in Wiltshire for British Navy, handling navy supply lines etc, she got locked in for a while for operational security, so I used to get 50p from dad - who was working - to walk my little sister to the Post Office and get lunch .. which always ended up being pick and mix. Mum died just before Christmas, but soo proud that she played a small part.

    I was at San Carlos late 84. Visited the cemetery the first and last days I was there and it was so quiet and peaceful. Not a breathe of wind but just up the hill it was blowing a gale. Back then, apart from the surrounding hills, we travelled by helicopter as there were no semi decent roads unless we were going over the water to Ajax Bay. If memory serves me correctly i think That the surgeon you mentioned, Capt Jolley, received an award from Argentina for his efforts treating their wounded and injured.

Thank you from a veteran for all your effort you put into making this & for caring for the memorials whilst you were down there.🙏 Ubique
