@FalklandsinUK OTD in 1940 Lt Colonel H Jones was born. Gone but not forgotten.

On this day in 1982, the 22nd Special Air Service (SAS) Regiment carried out the Raid on Pebble Island, supported by HMS Glamorgan and HMS Broadsword. Reminiscent of SAS operations of the Second World War, the successful raid disabled 11 Argentine aircraft. 🇫🇰🇬🇧 #Falklands44

Today we remember Lt Col H. Jones VC, born in 1940 Commanding Officer of 2 PARA during the Falklands War, he was awarded the Victoria Cross after leading an assault at Goose Green in May 1982 🇬🇧 A lasting symbol of courage, leadership and sacrifice #OTD #HJonesVC #Falklands

@uk_crafting He was a cornerstone of many events, he was literally used as a landmark e.g. in the crowd north of flagman!

@VCTrustee Oh no. I remember seeing him at a few events over the years.

I will dip the Union flag 🇬🇧 later to remember the ever so patriotic Terry Hutt who passed away recently. I met him on the Mall a few times (at least) on various events 'flying the flag' . He was a great crowd ambassador. My deepest condolences to his family. 🇬🇧

Do you have a van running empty between Newlyn and Connor Downs in Cornwall this week? The @VETERANSCHARITY need you if you do, to help move a special cargo, for a special event. Thank you to the David White show on @BBCCornwall for the shout out! #Van #Lorry #Cornwall #Kernow

@hellbunnt @SGTWipper1Each 🤣

@VCTrustee @SGTWipper1Each I'm soaked just looking at the picture. 😬😄

Using a uniform pattern, how old are you?

Happy birthday Al!

@FalklandsinUK Lest we forget.

From a population of just 2,300, more than 150 Falkland Islanders volunteered for service in the Second World War, however 25 Islanders were killed in the fighting. 🇫🇰 More than 200 Falklands children were evacuated to Camp, the rural constituency of the Islands.

On the 81st anniversary of VE Day, we reflect on the contribution of the Falkland Islands in helping to win the war against tyranny. 🇫🇰 From the service and sacrifice of so many Islanders to the support the Falklands gave to the Allied forces, a short thread. 🧵 #VEDay81

@hellbunnt @SGTWipper1Each Got wetter on the inside because of the condensation and sweat!

@SGTWipper1Each Brit veterans will be able to hear this picture! 😂

On this day in 1952 the historic Artists Rifles officially became the 21st SAS. #Art #ArtistsRifles #BritishArmy

@transportgovuk Our thought are with our friends at @GWRHelp. They have been helping The @VETERANSCHARITY keep remembrance moving since we came up with the first @RemembeRoutes - Poppies to Paddington in 2020. Best wishes to them and thank you for keeping remembrance on track.

Great Western Railways services will transfer into public ownership from 13 December 2026. This is another significant moment as the government continues to bring services back into public ownership and put passengers, not shareholders, at the heart of our railways.

Only 4 tickets left!

On 21 February 1967, Charlie — widely regarded as the last working shunting horse on British Rail — retired from Newmarket station in Suffolk. After 18 years of moving railway wagons and horseboxes, his final job was almost poetic: he shunted the very wagon that would take him away to retirement. The end of an era on British rails.

Good luck to Andy and all those running for The @VETERANSCHARITY today in the @LondonMarathon real and virtual! justgiving.com/page/andy-mcdo… #LondonMarathon #Veterans

Today at my local Armed Forces and Veterans Breakfast Club, we flew the ANZAC Day flags: Australia 🇦🇺 New Zealand 🇳🇿 & Tonga 🇹🇴 As well as the flag of South Georgia 🇬🇸 for Liberation Day. #TheVeteransHalt #Cornwall

For all our Fusilier friends from The @VETERANSCHARITY for... #StGeorgesDay @LondonFusiliers @FusiliersRHQ

@specialopsmag Surely a TIE fighter pilot from the Empire Strikes Back?

Former British Special Boat Service (SBS) operator Jason “Foxy” Fox training with a rebreather. The SBS is the UK’s Tier 1 maritime special forces unit, and the sister unit of the more publicly known 22nd SAS. Unlike standard scuba gear, a rebreather recycles exhaled air, producing no bubbles on the surface. This allows operators to approach enemy ships, oil rigs, or coastal targets completely undetected, sometimes for hours underwater. It is one of the most demanding and technical skills in all of special operations. Fox joined the Royal Marines Commandos at just 16 years old in 1992, passed UK Special Forces Selection in 2001, and spent the next decade inside the SBS. He served as a swimmer and diver, and was an explosives expert on hostage rescue, counterterrorism, and counternarcotics operations around the world. Medically discharged in 2012 with PTSD, he went on to co-found Rock2Recovery to help veterans heal, and later became one of the original instructors on the TV show “SAS: Who Dares Wins.”
