A Falkland Islander Till I Die

When Argentina invaded the Falklands in 1982 it was a terrifying experience for Terry Betts and his wife and two children in Stanley. Gunfire rattled out again, interspersed with bangs and pops of varying levels of noise, but the combination of all together seemed much louder and more deafening than at any time before. I thought I could hear bullets whizing past the house, others smacking into a small concrete wall in front of the house. God knows the mind can play all sorts of tricks in this situation, I suppose. 'Let's just stay here,' I said to my wife. So we flattened out on the floor where we were.
