TV schedule for ITV the day the Falklands War came to an end. Argentine troops surrendered in Stanley after occupying the islands for 74 days. Live and Let Die was how it was in the brutal battles on the mountains, but Live and Let Live quickly became the mantra.

OTD 1982 Battle of Tumbledown rages through night. Scots Guards fought Argentine troops at bayonet point along crest & flank of this dragon’s back of a mountain. In 2022 we returned with veterans for first archaeological survey. Read free @Mapping1982 book shorturl.at/s5LXw

Thanks for reminding me of this @militaryhistori. A moment I will always cherish. It was such a privilege to be there with Scots Guards veterans of 1982, Jim and John.

Jim Peters (ex Scots Guards) in 2022 looking for remains of the curry he scoffed in lee of that rock during a lull in fighting during Battle of Tumbledown 1982. This was when we realised he’d become an archaeologist. Today he’s joining me on my tour of Culloden. @UofGWarstudies

Great to be there to see @warsmatter graduate with his PhD. It’s been an honour to join him on his journey as a Falklands veteran doing great work researching the use of archives by veterans. @UofGWarstudies @andrewhoskins

Just heard the sad news that Paul Haley has died. His iconic photo of the Scots Guards on top of Tumbledown will be an enduring image of the Falklands War.

Tonight’s walk in Durness reminded me of the Falklands. IYKYK.

I know veterans can be incredible battlefield guides thanks to @Mapping1982. Back in the 1830s Edward Cotton, a 7th Hussars veteran of Waterloo, was a well know guide to the battlefield. Looking forward to piloting @DigWaterloo academy for veteran battlefield guides in September.

Sharkey was a legend, an outspoken, great flying, shoot ‘em down legend.
Dr Phil Weir@navalhistorian

Very sad news - retired @RoyalNavy Commander Nigel "Sharkey" Ward, who famously commanded the Sea Harriers of 801 Naval Air Squadron, flying from HMS Invincible during the 1982 Falklands War, has apparently passed away aged 80.

Came across this image on a wall at RMB Chivenor in Devon last week. It was titled, 'Royal Marines, Falklands, 1982'.

Good to see Simon Weston on Antiques Roadshow. His own medals but telling other people’s stories. He was supportive when the press had a bash at me for wanting to do the archaeology of the Falklands War. It’s a living history and an important one.
