Falklands VC's

[Les]

I posted a thread a couple of weeks ago about a friend of mine going to the Falklands.... and I'd asked him to get photos of the VC markers etc.

Well, there's some good news and not so good news. The not so good news is that he couldn't get to the markers and take any photos, but the good news is that he bought me a first day cover, hand franked, and limited to those that were there on 11 November!! I've attahced a pic below..........

Hi, I wonder if any of your members would interested in reading in the most accurate account of the Sgt McKay VC ever told, I have just written an Ebook called Three Days in June
I am ex 3 Para and over three years I interviewed over fifty of my colleagues who took part in the battle, we now have the definitive account of the battle, endorsed by Sir Hew Pike who wrote the foreword. In April 2013 we erected a memorial cross in the location that Sgt Ian McKay died,
The book specifically concentrates on the last three days of the war, i.e. the battle for Longdon, the occupation and finally the move into Port Stanley. It is written with an accurate time and understandable sequence of events throughout the battle and the following days. Over 50 veterans of the battle were interviewed for the book, the majority were British, but we had a number of Argentine veterans whose help was invaluable in pointing out various machine gun positions and letting me know who was where and which men were manning the various Heavy Machine Guns.
It is now available on Amazon Kindle, However you do not need a Kindle or Ipad, it can be read on your home computer or Laptop by using firstly this link www.amazon.com/kindleforpc

All the very best,
Bye for now Jimmy O’Connell
