RM Actions Before Surrender - Falklands 1982

recceguy

Actually, during the battle defending Government House in the Falklands in 1982, despite being heavily outnumbered and facing overwhelming firepower, the Royal Marines fired over 6,000 rounds and destroyed a number of APCs with 84mm and 66mm anti-armour weapons before surrendering.

Did you ever serve in the Falklands during the immediate aftermath and go on any battlefield tours - no, I thought not.

Easy to make assumptions from a few photos when typing on a computer from a position of safety over 32 years after the event !
