Military History Talk – Falklands War
13 December 2022 @ 6:15 pm - 7:45 pm
Hear Maj. Andrew Brayshaw (Retd) discuss the Falklands War and its implications for British military history and diplomacy.
On the 19 March 1982 the Argentine naval ship, ARA Bahía Buen Suceso arrived in South Georgia with a group of illegal scrap metal workers, sparking the Falklands War. 74 days later 649 Argentine, 255 British personnel and three Falkland Islanders were dead and a small, relatively unknown island off the tip of South America had become a household word.
Maj. Brayshaw served 24 years with the British Army as a combat medic in theatres such as the Falklands, Eastern Europe and the Gulf.
