I know this is probably off the subject, and I apologize for not reading this entire thread, but I have been rather busy lately. May I enquire as to how many Victoria Crosses were ( 3, no ? ) issued in the Falklands and to whom ? Or, perhaps, where can I find this information ? I heard a story of an RSM who charged with sabre and pistol shortly before the final surrender, possibly causing the final surrender. Tis the stuff of legends, ere it were true. Of course, I saw the (obviously set up) picture of the single CPL (Lance, unpaid, acting) surveying 11,000 surrenders of weapons.

BTW, I must say that the British military performed in true fashion, becoming of their reputation as the world's most formidable foe. The fact that their foe was less than such does not dimish their achievement or their reputation. God save.
