The Welsh Guardsman Simon Weston is the most recognisable face of the Falklands war. He was terribly burnt when the Guards were bombed while waiting on the RFA Sir Galahad on 8 June 1982. He later became a national figure, talking openly about the difficulties of recovery, and working for burns victims and injured veterans.
For decades, Colonel Guy Sayle was blamed for putting troops on board the Sir Galahad at risk as he refused to disembark over fears his men would be dropped without kit during the Falklands War.
