memory from everyone was incredible. We had such a wonderful time, and we’re certainly not leaving it another 40 years.”
After fierce fighting in the mountains overlooking Port Stanley, Argentinian forces surrendered on June 14.
On the 40th anniversary of the Falklands War, the Royal British Legion invites communities to come together and remember the service and sacrifice of all those who served, both military and civilian.
It is encouraging the Falklands generation to stay connected to the Armed Forces community as talking to others who understand and have shared experiences supports mental well-being.
Philippa Rawlinson, The Royal British Legion’s Remembrance Lead, said: “The RBL’s 40th Anniversary commemorations will honour and remember the service of the 30,000 sailors, marines, soldiers, airmen and merchant mariners who participated in the Falklands War, the many civilians who supported the war effort, and the 255 British personnel
who sadly lost their lives.
“There are veterans of the Falklands War who still struggle today with physical and mental scars from the campaign. The RBL remains
committed to ensuring that service and sacrifice in more recent conflicts is recognised and that all generations of the Armed Forces community know the RBL
is here to support them, for life.”
907 lives were lost during the conflict: 649 Argentinian, 255 British and three Falkland Islanders.
