"As preparations to take Stanley went ahead British forces experienced their most severe shock of the campaign.
On 8 June five Argentine planes hit two British supply ships, Sir Galahad and Sir Tristram. They were destroyed as they moved up men and equipment to a British-held position in Fitzroy, near Stanley.

The assault took place before Sir Galahad had been able to land the men and ammunition it carried.

Around 200 men, many of them Welsh Guards, were killed or injured as the Argentine bombs ignited the huge amount of explosives the ship was carrying."
