A fascinating talk by Chris, who was part of the invasion force to ensure the Falklands stayed "British".
Chris told us of the special arctic training and exercises undertaken prior to the invasion force going to the Southern Oceans and the way in which he and his regiment endured the hardships that followed landing on one of our remote outposts.
Equipment was at a premium and his regiment having just undertaken arctic training were lucky, they had the right gear. Others didn't!
We heard of the hardship and the good times, along with sorrow and good fortune. Some of it was doing the right thing at the right time, others were luck and judgement.
A brilliant talk, well illustrated and lots of questions following the the speaker.
