There are more than a few pages on the conflict, down to units, equipment and order of battle.

One lesson I leared from study and talking to the RM that briefed my unit was NEVER F* with Royal Marines. The actions taken after the inital surrender (some 5 RM pulled a SERE action and later provided intel on AG forces)provide a classic example of iniative and RM grit.

Bottom line -

One Marine as he headed up the ramp, gave an Argentine guard a parting shot that would come true in 72 days' time. "Don't make yourself too comfy mate, we'll be back."
