Falklands War April 1982, on our journey South on the SS Canberra, 8000 miles from the UK. We used the time wisely to train, train and train again, here showing a picture of weapon drills on the Light Machine Gun (the iconic Bren Gun) - a very effective weapon back in 1982. 🫡

General Jenkins’ appointment as 1SL reflects a Corps which is bound even more tightly to how the Royal Navy thinks, operates & fights. He has the instincts & ambition needed to drive the Navy’s modernisation, ensuring it can continue to safeguard our security & prosperity.
