Falklands War memories


This is an excellent drama. Watching it made me think of my schoolboy memories of the Falklands War. I remember when HMS Sheffield was sunk, the flag on the local church being flown at half-mast. I also remember how, it being World Cup year, each pupil in my class at school was asked to paint a flag of one of the competiting nations; it was decided that no-one would be asked to paint the flag of Argentina.

I was only 9 at the time of the Falklands War so my memories are pretty hazy, however the real footage at the end of the film brought back memories of seeing it the for the first time on the news as the events actually happened just before going to bed with a cup of Horlicks :)
