2 Para Falklands

- Tribute to the 2nd Battalion, The Parachute Regiment, the first British troops to land at San Carlos Bay, first troops into battle at Goose Green, the only battalion that fought two battles during the conflict, and the first troops into Port Stanley.
I am a former Italian military paratrooper of the Folgore Brigade. I was lucky in the 90s to train with the UK paratroopers during bilateral exchanges organized by NATO. Hard men, extremely professional, the absolute number one. To think that the Argentines could win the Falklands war against them was simply utopia. Fighting against the British was suicide. A cordial greeting from Italy.
A warm salutation from Britain!
Your homeland is in our thoughts & hearts, at this difficult time - Rimanga su col morale ;)
One of the big victories of the Falklands War was getting them there - thousands of miles from home, a logistical nightmare, under fire.
British casualties at the Battle of Darwin Goose Green.

However, in the official list released in Great Britain, after the combat, there are no dead soldiers, they are all cadres.
Returning to Hastings and Jenkins, it is initially mentioned in work 17 dead and 35 wounded, but reading it herself that the above mentioned losses do not correspond to the effects and
situations quoted in these two paragraphs of the same:
"... Keeble ordered the Company A to converge on Goose Green and will support Company C. Impossible, was answered that the casualties have reduced the troops too ... "
Or as like this other paragraph: "... Terrible combination of artillery, mortars, machine guns and anti-aircraft guns on the Company C "... When his men advanced to the school building.
It burns out the school of Goose Green, occupied by the British and destroyed by the Argentine anti-aircraft artillery. Photo taken from the Argentine lines by the Tte. Esteban.

In Thompson's book he says things like these:
"... the first attempts by Ca A to clean Darwin Hill were unsuccessful and casualties began to increase. "
"... 800 meters from the right flank of Ca A, Ca B wastrapped by the direct and indirect fire of the enemy on the exposed skirts discovered Boca House ... and the casualties continued increasing...
"... So that at 11.10 am of the morning, after almost at 6:00 pm, the battle over Darwin Hill was over, but not without had suffered severe losses: the commanding officer, the assistant, second in command of Ca A and 9 young people died and 30 others were injured ... ".
"... A Section of Engineers had orders to nail them cannons where’s captured; This fire inflicted several casualties on Ca C as his men advanced towards the school building ... "
"... When the men advanced, the enemy 26 a flag
The Head of Section with a group, restarted the fire and both he and 2 non-commissioned officers were killed ... ".
Evidently, those severe casualties that continually "followed increasing "do not correspond to the information of" only 20 died and 37 wounded. "

Most recently, Thompson reports that on May 28 at night:
"... I went to the BMA and Campaign Hospital on a boat rigid for my usual nocturnal visit. The wounded lay silent in long lines, waiting for them to operate, subjected
To interventions, or pale and sleepy after surgery, while doctors and nurses your surroundings. As always I was struck by the bravery of those young people, many of them horribly mutilated ... ".

Now, if the wounded were "only 35", how was it "lay in long lines. "Two long lines of 17 wounded each one? Three long rows of 13 wounded each? Or there were not so many rows, nor were these
So long; Or there were more than 35 wounded.
However, it does not seem to have been a simple exaggeration, because he then shows that his concern was and it was a lot, since it says: "... I turned to the radiotelephone to Talk to Northwood (Operations Center in Great Britain) and inform them about the battle, as well as asking them to press for the hospital ship Uganda to approach, so that.
The evacuation of wounded could be initiated by means of helicopters and thus leave the hospital free to receive new wounded" …”
So you have to believe that the "long lines" of the wounded were as the number had saturated the hospital and there were.
"To leave him free." In addition, "new wounded" were still waiting.
Then the wounded were more; Well over 35.
We could end by quoting the words of the Reverend Father
Santiago Mora, who served as Chaplain in Darwin and reports:

"... I only buried Argentine dead, because the british had already done it with theirs, in Puerto San Carlos. As soon as the combat ended, they were the ones who cleared the battlefield of the dead and herds. Newly in the 3 days they let us get out to look for bodies of our men.I think they did that so we would not know how many casualties they had. I think in Darwin the English lost five times more men than we. I came one had about 200 casualties. Because the Regiment which attack us, paratroopers. He had about 500 men and they were seen to suffer heavy losses. I fell more of a third party ... ".
In synthesis, The English sources consulted differ in the number of dead, between 17, 18 and 28; as well as in the wounded, ranging from 35 to 37. But no one cited 14 dead. As the view
All sources spoken in English, between 1, 4 and 9 soldiers of the dead.
If the name and surname of a dead soldier is given. But the official report of Great Britain.
Combat, includes between the only officers and non-commissioned officers; No soldier.
All sources quoted, of English origin, speak of casualties in global terms. Very superior to the numbers that they then cite. There is talk of a company or its losses prevent it from continuing to
support the attack.
Of another company receiving a flood of shrapnel, of casualties that were still in effect, and of 12/14 dead, (60/70 % of the official total) and 30 wounded (80% of the oficial total), hearing only took 6 hours of combat.
The Commander of the British Forces (Thompson) describes long rows of wounded, a hospital saturated with casualties. Plans for storing a hospital vessel and waiting for the arrival of more wounded in the next hours.

British helicopterists and their war odyssey.

We had made this file 6 years ago, after we put it up, the 656 Squadron's WEB Page was lifted, you cannot enter any more, the 656 campaign in Malvinas no longer exists on the page.
Terrible British Account, extracted from the page of the 656 Scout Helicopter Squadron, here we do not add anything, those who write are Sergeant Dick Kalinski and Ian Roy
British Scout Helicopter in Malvinas, these ships mainly provided support for the evacuation of dead and wounded, we know well what the BRITISH MILITARY SECRET is and how casualties and facts of combat are hidden ... but sometimes the boys when writing their memoirs in their forums "screw it up" and inadvertently tell more things than they should.
THIS IS HIS STORY FROM MAY 28 TO NOON
THE PARACHUTORS advanced towards Darwin initially supported by 2 RM Scouts and 2 Gazelles. The 2 Scouts were attacked by two Argentine Pucara, knocking down and killing Nunn, his crew member Belcher was thrown during the accident sequence and ended with the loss of a leg, all this one mile SE of Camilla Creek.
The other helicopter was also attacked by the Pucará, we had to call for help and the radio frequencies were full, our Scout shot down and his smoking remains were the best signal. ( Photo )
The battlefield was on fire there was no doubt that the fight was going on very hard.
I started my work with a SERIES of evacuations of seriously injured people that I took to the Ajax Bay Hospital, on my way back I took 7.62 mm ammunition for the PARAS to the field, I did it urgently because I had to bring DEAD back what I did leaving my victims in the refrigeration plant.
After the PARAS attacked at the back of Darwin's hill, they assigned me another mission but I left the external stretchers and they gave me a GREAT NET where the dead were placed to take them to Ajax Bay, we entered two Scouts with great care and little space because very nearby the fighting continued and Company B was receiving fire and the fighting continues, it was INCREDIBLE I was wearing a NET WITH BODIES and nobody looked at me or was amazed at the sight, the combat was very hard and they were obviously busy with more important things - Like shooting at the Argentines, suddenly 2 Pucaras appear attacked from the south. We were a very easy target, it was to shoot us and shoot us down but they decided to throw bombs and rockets on our boys. As I have already had a casualty in a capsule and one in the part of a One of the Argentine Pilots when he saw us he launched a machine gun blast that hit the back of his Scout starting a small fire that was controlled, we quickly went to Ajax Bay looking before the Pucara do not return, I returned for more bodies but this time it was difficult because we saw ourselves in the middle of shots and bursts, also the area was being bombarded by Argentine artillery, again we evacuated more wounded, one of them had the shoulder completely destroyed by an Argentine bullet.
Again with another trip, I don't know if it is the 4th or 5th, they give me more LOWS for the Ajax refrigeration plant but I receive an order from company C that was on the other side of Darwin's hill, they had more BODIES that they should be removed from the field, they tell me that they cannot get to the back of the hill because the floor and the ground were not right, we should go, I ask if they listen to the Scouts to guide us and they tell me no for the Intense combat fire With the proximity of the Argentine positions this could be a disaster, I was afraid I threw myself over the hill and did not see those of Company C, soldiers appear below me even today I do not know if they were ours or Argentines, I think They were Argys but everything was so fast that they did not recognize me, I turned and came back, almost colliding with the other Scout who was following me fortunately in the middle of the fire we both landed we picked up the victims, more BODIES but this time the Scout did not want to take off it was very loaded and his skates s and they buried themselves in the mud, we had to lower some bodies to be able to take off a few centimeters and there already in the air they loaded the bodies again and we left for Ajax Bay.
At night I tried to rest but at 2 in the morning they called me from Pradera del Ganso, they told me that they had injured and that they found more BODIES that we should bring, I called my co-pilot and we immediately left

In the middle of the frozen night the helicopter blades froze, at Boca House I made my first stop, I was sad to see the first victim, a young captain who had been hit by artillery in his belly, we made flights at night thinking that everything would end but we continued even into the morning, it seemed that everything was about to end, we took out our wounded and dead people urgently, when we finished and saw that the battle had concluded they ordered us to withdraw the wounded Argentines, we had more work to do, luckily we found a tank with fuel at the Argentine Aerodrome that helped us to refuel our helicopters
With Sapucay de Malvinas we realized that THIS IS THE STORY OF ONLY 1 PILOT !!! THERE WERE 5 OPERATING UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS ....
IN THE PARAGRAPH THAT SPEAKS ABOUT THE TWO PUCARA THAT PASS OVER THEM, THROWING BOMBS AND ROCKETS ON COMPANY B IT WAS CASUALLY THE ONE THAT WAS SPRAYED WITH THE NAPALM THAT WAS NOT ACTIVATED ... THAT IS TO SAY THAT THE STORIES MATCH AND EVERYTHING IS TRUE.
THIS SAME PILOT DAYS LATER SHOULD WITHDRAWAL ACCORDING TO THE SAME ACCOUNT A LARGE AMOUNT OF BRITISH LOSSES IN WIRELESS RIDGE ALMOST IN FRONT OF ARGENTINE PORT, for us Casualties may be deceased or injured
Death is not good ... trying to find out how many of them died is not a CUTE thing, only by saying that they did NOT have those casualties, they make the Argentine work and resistance in battle see as something "light" that they could control when they did NOT It was like this.
NOTE: Sergeant Kalinski, an excellent professional, flew on June 8 when our A4s attacked Pleasant Bay, thinking that if they saw him, he would be shot down, he shot into the Mac Phee lagoon, breaking his helicopter that was taken out of the water on June 15, it is considered like a casualty and not an accident.

Pff, I take them when you want... Hum, more exactly for the ten seconds I could have to live. 🤔😕
In peace time hated but in war the first to be called on to help the country.
Stephan Taylor, I as an ex Paratrooper 4th Btn (V) am familiar with the term “Walter Mitties” but I cracked up with the vision of “ Mr Creosote “ ( of Monty Python Fame) explodes, after the wafer thin mint given the to the fuckin Boss Glutton!!!!!!!! I thought nobody else had my twisted sense of humour. The only way to treat Walters, is to laugh at them, they are a sad bunch of people. Who demean themselves with their lies.
@@jamesunsworth6865 You wouldn't be Jimmy Unsworth of Billy Fitz acquaintance would you.? If you are how yer doing are you still in Llandud
Thatcher Beyond the Grave yes I am. Was in touch with him today. By text. As you have a “nome de plume” who is this?
@@jamesunsworth6865 It's Gus old chum, are you well?
I was only 11 years old when the Falklands war erupted and too young to really understand it. Only now, at the age of 49 do I come to realise the bravery and loyalty of these amazing patriots. Fighting in a frozen wasteland to protect British citizens. To those of you still around, thank you.
... not that many left mate. Youngest will be 57 and suicide has taken a dreadful toll....
A deep thankyou
Some great guys in that film, an honour and privilege to have served with you all
Dad passed away today 6 yrs ago! Ex 2 para 67 to 79..... ex c company john graham Brian col acting sgt 76-77 rip dad everyman an emperor x
Am sure we know each other from aldershot ma auld man was ex-2para 1958-1981 a Scot called Nat Crossan?????….in Berlin together and ballykinlar??
God bless you all who fought for their mates, queen and country, never forgotten.
My best friend fought with 2 Para in the thick of action at Goose Green, Cpl Don Thompson-Noble. After 5 years in 2 Para, he then transferred to the Army Air Corp and became a qualified Observer on the Lynx and was stationed in Hong Kong.
Don passed away in 2005 at the age of 49.
Just spotted him in the photo montage of this video. No one had bigger sticky out ears than him. Lol.
2.31 standing 2nd from the left in the background.
No way! That's really sad news! I knew Don TN well back in the 80s in the far East. A bloody good laugh and all round good guy! Too young to die, 49!
El Guapo Sadly it is, I was at his funeral. Don and I grew up together and both went through the Scouts. Were you with him in the Falklands? He didn't talk much about it. I still think of him often, of all the crazy yet great times we shared.
Paul, no I wasn't with him. I had the wrong colour beret (in his words!). I knew him in Hong Kong. Funnily enough, our SSM there was ex 2 Para. Chas Lloyd. Always had us doing milling and unarmed combat. LoL. They were the days Paul.
El Guapo Well thanks so much for replying, it means a lot. Perhaps if you are still in touch with any Army Air Corp association, if you would post something. Best wishes to you and thanks again.
My dad was in the Parachute Regiment for 35 years & served in this War. Colour Sergeant Leslie Lewis AKA Lewi / Midnight. Hopefully someone here knew him ✌🏾
Bravos soldados, muy buenos; saludos desde Argentina.
Brilliant, I'm a civvy been to all battle sites, I worked on Mount pleasant for four years, 2 para came off wireless Ridge and was first into Stanley, top respect
Only because 3 Para were getting bombarded on Mt Longdon ;-) 41 years ago today.
Paras and Commandos, unstoppable forces of the British Empire
Unstoppable???????? Jajajajajajaj
Actually you’re queens guards won the major battle that won the war fighting with bayonets hand to hand….2nd bttn Scots guards ..the queens guards
@@drs7865whose stopped them?
@@BRITISHFURY_1664 my dick
Thanks for the service!
Can anyone here imagine the faces on the Argies when these men rolled up.
Look at RG's up against the Philomel store wall at the end.
Unfortunately the paras never got the chance to flex any battle muscle
Ask Herbert Jones?
You need to understand the context of this war. Argentinian soldiers werent real soldiers, they were kids, kids who knew nothing about war and were sent to war.
@@sansr8949 yes, finally someone who can think.
Men made of steel, you see them and they look old but the majority of these men were in there very early twenties , warriors
Brave guys they never gave up they never surrendered they defended this island Churchill would be proud,
Traveled 8 thousand miles. Guess the argies
Never heard our national anthem,
Britain rules the waves Britain never never shall be slaves 🇬🇧👍
If I had been an Argi and knew these guys were coming my way .I would have been on the first boat out of the Falklands
Argie marines were pretty good...
YEP
Como les rompieron el culo al Para 2, incluido a su jefe H.Jones. Unos simples soldados conscriptos con escasa preparación. Los para caian como moscas.
HMS Coventry, HMS Sheffield, HMS Invincible, HMS Antelope, Atlantic Conveyor, among others. And the flag used during real visits to the island, which is now here, in Argentina, as a trophy. Do u miss em?
Thatcher does (from hell). So, I would say that if our soldiers were as yours, which is nothing but pirates, then yeah, they would have left in a boat if they thought they could not win. But u know what? They are not fucking pirates, argentinian soldiers have something more than economic interest. Fucking pirate. So go fuck off. Or have some balls and come take your dirty flag.
Btw, fuck the queen, as the bitch she is, she will love it
Hispacacciato lol someone is salty that you guys despite having superior numbers and positions got fucked by a small and hastily assembled task force that destroyed the Belgrano and scared the rest of the argentine fleet and the harrier was able to beat far more jets. Also you’re the pirate as you guys invaded first and so the British were fighting for freedom
This is when England felt like England not like the dumping ground it is for the rest of the worlds shit. Anyway well done lads it was good while it lasted.
What true comment you made .its sad now how are country as gone thanks eu biggest mistake in uk history
Uk is full off piss balls thanks to eu
I was 2 Para at Goose Green , Fitzroy and Wireless Ridge , served 25 years in the Regiment , fuck off with your EU rant shit , you tosser , It was the British Army not the ENGLISH army you prat . Go tell a Ghurka to piss off back home , Chinese crew took the hits on the ships at Fitzroy ,knobhead .
@@jaquesdaniels2964 Well said Jaques. These cnuts can fcuk off.
@@jaquesdaniels2964 the Gurkhas did nothing in the FL war Argentines surrendered before they saw any action and the " Chinese crew" were the ships laundry men so your talking bollocks.
What a combination the Paras, and Maggie
If you're gonna be an infantryman be the best. Big respect to all who served, from my uncle Jim Korea, to my good pal Ces, 2 Para Falklands, and thoughts to those that never came home, from an Ex Crab
Agreed 👌🏻
Join the Marines 🤙🏻
Respects from Chile
To all on here, Mr Creosote is what we in the British Military call a Walter Mitty. A Chairborne, Keyboard Commando, who thrives on stolen valour and false claims he served in the Falklands. he also claims to be ex SAS. Walters, always make the PARA/SAS claim. Notice how he clings to the same narrative; he is unable to answer 10 simple questions regarding personalities in this video. All his knowledge comes from reading book and mentioning names that appear in the various books around the conflict. The sad thing is he insists I am the fake, a man with 27 years of service in the PARAS. I have caught him out a number of times, but still he insists with tenacity. Feel free to question him yourselves.
Awesome ! I'm so grateful that we had those men when we needed them❤️🇬🇧❤️
the young girl pointing out positions at 1.16 what a great photo :)
This was not a war about territory. Most would say 1800 people and 500K sheep is not worth the death. This war was about the sovereignty of British Territory, showing how every last population centre is a part of us.
Worked with an ex 2 Para called Mick Granell. He was demobbed the day Charles and Di got married and when he found out his lot were going south, signed up again, only to miss the show. Had some laughs with him except when talking politics...apparently his nickname in the Paras was Alf Garnet! Became a diver, lost contact. Fair play, Mick.👍
If it's the same Mick I knew he joined 23 PFA. Cracking lad.
The Empire Strikes Back!
Hard as nails! Hero's!
I always find it interesting how the Royal Marines managed to stay out of the major land battles. Well done the Airborne.
Thatcher Beyond the Grave yeah it is quite weird considering there were twice as many marines than paras.
@@big-papa-jimmysavillekiddy2181 Thats right twice as many Marines and they still managed to avoid the fighting , still there you go thats sailors pretending to be soldiers for yer.
Vieja pirata !!!!
Interesting? Obviously Mount Harriet and Two Sisters weren't major land battles then?
@@Foggy687 No they weren't. As someone who was there, the battles of Goose Green and Longdon were unsupported with heavy artillery. The reason we were told, was that they didnt have enough shells, However, on the night of the battle for Harriet, the navy suddenly found some heavy gun support and pounded Harriet for most of the night, in the largest regimental shoot since the end of WW2, pre the attack. If you know anything
about warfare its artillery that wins a battle. In addition I remember being briefed in the theatre of the Canberra the night before the
landings that 40 and 42 were to be going ashore first. later on that evening the news came through that it would be an opposed landing and overnight in three hours the
orbit was changed to 2 and 3 para going ashore first. So much for amphibious troops eh. The Royal Marines, I shit em, they are not soldiers they are pussy sailors. And the reason only one marine was killed on Harriet is not because of some great planning, it was because they had full naval and artillery gun support. Bunch of wankers the lot of them . Sailors pretending to be soldiers and nothing else.
No Falklands video is complete without a tirade from Sergio Sergio - the Basil Fawlty of Argentina: Basil, calm down, dear!
Superb soldiers !
ghese guys are top bad asses no joke
Brave brave boys
Made the world a far better place.
Utrinque Paratus, "every man and emperor" RIP brothers, sadly missed never shall we forget. ✌️🇬🇧

God bless such heroes 🙏🥰👏👏
Legends every one........
Everybody hates the paras/warrior until the enemy is at the gate!
Funny that isn't it. Media and other idiots including the guardian rag hate them until they are hiding behind them.
The Hard edge.......Dad was ex-1Para and younger brother ex-Para too with 216 Signals !!!!!
Dad had the view.......nobody messes around with us when we're in town !!!!!!!
Hey hey 31secs in thats my father in law in the middle of that photo bottom line, John Bolland aka "pixie" Total respect!! Although we have never met, i wish him all the best....
Best in the world the British paras , wish the British army was how it used to be.
Awesome video
Very Cool!
Never mess with english paratroopers. And other units.

Paras run a charity 10 miler every year at Catterick open to civilian and the armed forces called para 10 all money goes to a para charity also at Colchester
Lest we forget xxx
Peace thru superior firepower!
living in Hereford all you hear is sas this sas that but the truth is the yomp across Falklands by 2 para was truly above and beyond so they all deserve the v.c
Delete the word Yomp and insert "Tab" the Airborne Tactically Advance to Battle ( TAB and Tabbing) Cabbage heads Yomp!
It was 3 Para who walked across the Falklands. 2 Para fought at Goose Green, outnumbered 3 to 1 by some accounts, low on ammunition and without air or heavy artillery support. Rated as one of the greatest battalion actions ever and certainly since WWII.

I know a lad from this 2 para unit,Dave a old member of the LEEDS SERVICE CREW,hard as fuck,what a unit 2 Para were in that war.

U did us proud guys😊
Skrapha, yes, and no- what was his platoon/ company???
at 2:55 it was really interesting to see an LMG mag being used on the SLR. This provided an extra 10+ rounds. ;)
I just watched an Argentinian documentary on the Falkland’s. One soldier said when he first saw the British soldiers compared to them the British all looked like Rambo

My great uncle Cpl Mick Melia died at Goose Green.
this is when the british army had a decent rifle
It still does.
Battlefield shrunk... have to move with the times.
@@greg_4201 Pfft... How many versions of the SA80 are there? Now answer this one... How many versions of the SLR are there...
@@PeterMaddison2483 you have trouble reading or something? did the battlefield not shrink? 🤡
so the first one had big problems... then they fixed those problems.
what's the problem and what does your pointless stupid question prove?
the fact is the SA80 is better suited to modern warfare, hence the change 🤦🏻♂️ the battlefield has actually been shrinking since the beginning of the 20th century in case you hadn't noticed... an SLR today (or any 7.62 rifle) simply wouldn't be practical - it would be a hindrance.
to say the SA80 A2 isn't decent is patently absurd.
bullpups are better anyway. anyone with a brain would call a rifle that's easy for anyone to master almost instantly better than one that requires more training and which only larger guys can truly use to maximum effect anyway...
The Royal Regiment of Artilery...
R I p col h Jones and ya brothers
They battling a defended forces that was 5 to 10 times their size. Luckily for them, most the defender were conscript and the only that kept 2nd para together is their professionalism and expertise

I was 12 just did my 2 year in boy scouts scoutmaster that was in the Air Force it was a sear sergeant we trained real hard in outdoor survival a lot of camping hiking canoeing horseback riding set me up for search and rescue two years later Olympia search and rescue Washington State we got. Shot at by a dum ass hunter in the woods too wounded one serious start of long line of dum ass thing that happened to me bad guy have guns in USA
Can't think of a song that sums these fellS up really...apart from FKN LOVE YOU FELLAS!!!!
Wrong choice of song....personally for me....Green On would be more of a song that would complement this video...that song seems just too American to me....with nothing against our American brothers in arms.
It is contemporaneous, released in 1982
Some of those lads were killed. Top boys, not one moron among em!
And Mikado? What really happened?
Anyone notice the median age appearance? Men as opposed to baby faced boys.
thats because they were in general around 18 years old conscripts,forced to go to a war that they didnt understand ..we were specting a war with chile .you are so proud you defeat 18 years old conscripts ...different story was our air force pilots ...they were doing the military career and it was the very first time of our air force on a war ... and cause many troubles ... thats the difference .

Did you serve in 2 Para? If so, did you know John "jock" Bolland?
I did
I don't think you did Stephen Taylor. Jock moved from Mid Wales about 15 years ago and now lives in a Northern seaside resort. He is still mad as an hatter and he never really recovered both physically and psychologically. If you knew him what was his nickname?
Mr .Creosote Jock and was originally in A Company 2 PARA with me...not that I need your approval or assent to where I served, someplace you didn't!
So you don't know his nickname then, and Jock was always D Coy you sir are a bullshiter, there isn't a single guy in the battalion who doesn't know what Jock has engraved on his ring. So come on Walter lets hear it.
Yes same company during the Ballykinler tour, then he moved to Support Company.
