Some here have been there I understand. 40 years ago.
"VETERANS AND ARCHAEOLOGISTS SURVEY FALKLANDS BATTLEFIELDS ON 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CONFLICT
During the 40th anniversary of the Falklands War, a team including veterans, archaeologists and local people are carrying out the first archaeological survey of the islands’ battlefields, it was revealed today.
The Falklands War Mapping Project is a collaboration between the University of Oxford, University of Glasgow, Falkland Islands Museum & National Trust, and Waterloo Uncovered, a charity that uses archaeology as therapy for trauma and injury.
A central element of the project is veteran engagement through the charity Waterloo Uncovered. Two British Army veterans – Jim and John - who fought in the Battle of Mount Tumbledown are accompanying the team to the battlefield and bring with them their unique understanding of the landscape, finds, and past events. One of the veterans – John – is visiting the Falklands for the first time in 40 years, while for the other – Jim - it is his 5th visit."
