42 years ago today - the men of 3 PARA were fighting in the battle for Mount Longdon - 23 men were killed.

Two of the dead – Privates Ian Scrivens and Jason Burt – were only 17 years old, and Private Neil Grose was killed on his 18th birthday.

R.I.P

I’ve read pretty much every book on Falklands war, the best being ‘3 Days in June’. Get it bought, you won’t be disappointed.
