OTD 1815 & morning after the day before at Waterloo. What happened to the thousands of dead men & horses? Who cleaned up & where did all the stuff go? What about the wounded? What fate befell the battlefield & its dead in the years to come? Read all about it in these 3 articles:

TV schedule for ITV the day the Falklands War came to an end. Argentine troops surrendered in Stanley after occupying the islands for 74 days. Live and Let Die was how it was in the brutal battles on the mountains, but Live and Let Live quickly became the mantra.

OTD 1982 Battle of Tumbledown rages through night. Scots Guards fought Argentine troops at bayonet point along crest & flank of this dragon’s back of a mountain. In 2022 we returned with veterans for first archaeological survey. Read free @Mapping1982 book https://t.co/1jsffSBR5S

Thanks for reminding me of this @militaryhistori. A moment I will always cherish. It was such a privilege to be there with Scots Guards veterans of 1982, Jim and John.

Great to be there to see @warsmatter graduate with his PhD. It’s been an honour to join him on his journey as a Falklands veteran doing great work researching the use of archives by veterans. @UofGWarstudies @andrewhoskins

Just heard the sad news that Paul Haley has died. His iconic photo of the Scots Guards on top of Tumbledown will be an enduring image of the Falklands War.

Tonight’s walk in Durness reminded me of the Falklands. IYKYK.

I know veterans can be incredible battlefield guides thanks to @Mapping1982. Back in the 1830s Edward Cotton, a 7th Hussars veteran of Waterloo, was a well know guide to the battlefield. Looking forward to piloting @DigWaterloo academy for veteran battlefield guides in September.

Sharkey was a legend, an outspoken, great flying, shoot ‘em down legend.

Came across this image on a wall at RMB Chivenor in Devon last week. It was titled, 'Royal Marines, Falklands, 1982'.

Good to see Simon Weston on Antiques Roadshow. His own medals but telling other people’s stories. He was supportive when the press had a bash at me for wanting to do the archaeology of the Falklands War. It’s a living history and an important one.

In November last year, the ‘1982 Uncovered’ exhibition opened at @SPC_Oxford College Chapel. It proved a powerful way to remember. Please watch this short film to learn more: https://t.co/xK5g09oBqd #remembrance @Mapping1982

That time of year when we remember friends and family who died in the service of their country #LestWeForget
