210 Reports Extra 1983: memories of the War from the archives of the Falkland Islands Broadcasting Service - nd [1983]

Description

This weekend, 500 relatives of men killed in the Falklands will be stepping ashore on the islands to visit the graves of their loved ones, and to attend special memorial services. They left Britain exactly a year to the day after the Task Force set sail from Portsmouth after the Argentine invasion. 210 reports extra this week looks back to the events of a year ago, when Argentine troops swiftly overcome the resistance of a handful of Royal Marines to take over the Falklands. Defence correspondent Paul Maureece brings up the special report. [Box 5]
