sonofthegun:

30 years ago today the Argentinian armed forced occupying the Falkland Islands officially surrendered to Great Britain’s liberating task force. The Falklands War had lasted a little over two months and claimed the lives of 258 British service men and women and 649 Argentinians, with another 11,313 taken prisoner during ferocious fighting. The battles, such as Goose Green, Mount Tumbledown and Wireless Ridge have since been enshrined in British martial history.
