Noreen	BS: Almost 40 years since Falklands War! (131* d)	RE: BS: Almost 40 years since Falklands War!	26 Sep 20
The Falklands conflict lasted for 10 weeks, 2 April – 14 June 1982, so there are nearly two years to go before the 40th anniversary. I hope this 'celebration' is not going to carry on for two years. I remember it well as my cousin's new husband was on his way home on his final tour of duty on HMS Glamorgan, before starting a shore job as a newly married man. On their way home they received orders to divert to join the Task Force en route to the Falklands. We heard on the news that the conflict was over, the day before we heard he had been killed. All triumphalism is misplaced.
