Description
The story of the worst British disaster of the Falklands conflict of 1982 - the bombing by Argentine planes of two troopships at Fitzroy Inlet, with the loss of 50 lives. One of them, Sir Galahad, ...was packed with Welsh Guards who'd been waiting for six hours in broad daylight to disembark. Twenty-five years on survivors and others affected by the tragedy tell how this act of war continues to shape so many lives.
