REMEMBER IT WELL JOE.
At the time I was living in Huddersfield and I rang the Royal Naval Reserve in Birmingham where I had served for 2 years as an RO2(T) before business commitments forced me to leave. I talked to the same regular CPO that I remembered and volunteered my services. I was told that " If we need you lot we are really in the shit"!
Nice to be valued!!

Remember it well also.
Remember also the deliberate attempted humiliation of the British troops.
Had the Argies marched them down to captivity with Flag flying and still under arms (bolts removed) taken them to the best hotel in their capital, given them good tucker, luscious birds and then taken a few photos, the outcome probably would have been different.
As it was the Argies' propaganda photos only got everyone's backs up.
