As a veteran of the war, it is a good read, and fills some gaps in my memory as to who, what, and why. In the true spirit of "After the battle" magazine, the photos are outstanding. I only have one concern, my unit 29 Corunna Field Bty RA was part of 2 Para Group and gave Artillery support to both 2 and 3 Para throughout the conflict, we were heli lifted on to the island at san carlos before any infantry landed to give covering fire if necessary. My Regt 4th field RA is only given less than a paragraph on page 561, and this was in relation to our then CO talking about the general Arty support throughout the conflict, i personally don't remember him being present. In the order of battle you have 4 regt RA in 5 inf brg this was actually 97 Bty Lawsons company RA and some headquarters elements, whereas in 3 com brig you have FOO parties from 4th field, in truth this was a whole Bty of light guns. I would refer the Editor to our CPO's publication "Falklands Gunner" for a more accurate account.
