Start Line - Battle for Mount Harriet - Falkland Islands

Maldwyn Jones and I, at the memorial stone for the Battle of Mount Harriet. 35 years ago, my Company. No2 Company & Recce Pl 1st Bn Welsh Guards secured the start line for the Marines to attack Mount Harriet in June 1982. I wrote about the night of the attack in my diary. However on this official plaque, its seems our contributions in this attack are not recorded. Especially the actions of our Milan Section who took out an Argentine Bunker that was holding up the start of the attack on Mount Harriet.
