EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of determination and resolve as members of the 5th Infantry Brigade (Guards and Gurkhas) disembark from a small jetty to reinforce the bridgehead at San Carlos, Falkland Islands, during the South Atlantic Conflict of 1982. With around 3000 men on board, the brigade, under the command of Major General Jeremy Moore RM, was a formidable force. Comprised of the 1st Battalion, 7th Duke of Edinburgh's Own Gurkha Rifles, 1st Battalion, The Welsh Guards, 2nd Battalion, The Scots Guards, and support units including 97 Battery, 4 Field Regiment, Royal Artillery and 36 Engineer Regiment, Royal Engineers, the brigade was a diverse and capable fighting force. The soldiers in this image, dressed in their combat gear and carrying their weapons, are focused on the task at hand, their faces etched with a mixture of anticipation and resolve. The small jetty, surrounded by the turquoise waters of the Falkland Islands, serves as a stark reminder of the vast expanse of water they had crossed to reach their destination. This powerful image is a testament to the bravery and resilience of the soldiers who took part in the Falklands War and their crucial role in securing the bridgehead at San Carlos.
