For someone who was still at school at the time of the Falklands I'm finding that in middle age a desire to learn more about this conflict (going beyond Channel 4 documentaries). I believe you are the second blogger to recommend 'Three Days in June' so I've just bought a copy. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for visiting the blog and putting...Hi Jimmy<br /><br />Thanks for visiting the blog and putting us straight on the maps. Don't worry, I was following your text against the topographical features of Bicheno's map. But it's always useful for someone who was there to highlight that we can't take what we read at first value.<br /><br />One of the things I like about Three Days in June is that where 3-4 Toms in a section experienced something, you put in each of their accounts. You don't just resort to the best of the bunch to illustrate the point then move on to the next bit of action. Well done... on all counts<br /><br />Cheers<br />MarkMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10667904346877072807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690131777600341387.post-14046467119605226952014-09-20T22:58:27.352+01:002014-09-20T22:58:27.352+01:00Hi Mark, just a quick one regarding your comment a...Hi Mark, just a quick one regarding your comment about Hugh Bicheno's Razors Edge. the routes he has indicated on his maps are wrong, there are numerous errors, his location for Ian McKay is 200m short of the actual position where he fell, the route he indicated for 6 Platoon is completely wrong, there are so many errors including the Argentine gun positions and who was manning which Heavy Machine gun. Please ignore his maps, at the moment I am liaising with Parachute Regiment HQ who know which is the correct version and the correct locations. I have informed them of the final location of Sgt Ian McKay. I can understand why you would believe established authors like Hugh Bincheno and Jon Cooksey, but both their versions are wrong and full of inaccuracies, <br />Bye for now Jimmy O'Connelljameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16275397451068100863noreply@blogger.com
