2022 sees the 40th anniversary of the Falklands Conflict. Our story looks at the reasons why Argentina chose to invade the Falklands in 1982 and all the political wrangling behind the scenes to avert the conflict. The Falklands War is the last conflict since WW2 to see all the branches of our Armed Forces in action together. We chart the British Task Force, their victories and losses, the incredible acts of valour by our service personnel including two Victoria Cross recipients. Concluding with the eventual recovery of the Falklands Islands.

About David Bardell

Having retired from a career in IT and Business Project Management, continued to build up a strong knowledge and interest in Military History. Working with a friend, Mick Byrne, we have developed a compelling passion for WWI history. We visit Belgium/France each year to research our WWI interest. We’d like to share our stories with Groups. It is the background and stories of the Events which receive our (and hopefully your) attention.
