On this day in 1982, the Falkland Islands were invaded by Argentina. Today, we remember the bravery and actions of the @RoyalMarines Naval Party 8901 and Members of the Falkland Islands Defence Force who fought to defend our Islands against overwhelming odds. 🇫🇰🇬🇧 #Falklands43

Good news! The Kindle version of my novel Whiteout is just 99p at the moment on Amazon, which is frankly almost free for a book described as "cracking" by The Times, so pop over here to grab it if you're keen: https://t.co/FHRMTzzldo

Can hardly believe the day has arrived. My little book lives! Huge thanks to everyone who helped me get to this point (and I needed a LOT of help 😀), but especially @jemimaforrester and @MorganSpringet1 who really made this all happen. If you do pick it up, I hope you enjoy it
#Whiteout, the intense survival-thriller that will chill you to the bone is out today! 🎉❄️ Pick up your copy of @RobBurnett's incredible debut: https://t.co/MqkKq8bf82

Talking to a friend badly wounded during Battle of Tumbledown in 1982. He's convinced hit by Argentine mortar, another account thinks 155 arty from Stanley. If ever there was a debate which archaeology could settle this is it! @Mapping1982 @AnthroClack @UofGWarstudies @stueve
