War Stories

A personal view from the Falklands conflict, by my father who was Captain of HMS Endurance 1980-82

[@trevortrevortsr2]

This is the best and most creditable account of how the Falklands war was allowed to happen - So many young men on both sides died because of bureaucrats - That ladies account of the trench foot conscript being shot and thrown over the sea wall should be broadcast to all them folk still peddling the injustice of this conflict

Thanks Henry, I was born in 1983, "Beyond Endurance" is one of my all time favourite books & your fathers ship & story has fascinated me ever since I was a child. Occasionally I spend sometime trawling KZbin for little hidden nuggets and this time I've struck gold. All the best to you and yours. Thanks again.

When Captain Barker is seen at the Memorial Service at Stanley (2mins 45sec in) he is wearing his medals, they include his South Atlantic Medal with Rosette and his 1977 Silver Jubilee Medal along with a third I can't identify. Does anyone know which medal it is?

He should of been promoted, not punished. Politicians being protected yet again. Thatcher must of heard what was covered up by these ministers, and as a result should of sacked them. So much for her admiration for the troops achievements, when she allows this very able Captain to be punished.
