Make us worthy of the great traditions bound up in the union of our three Regiments, and as Thy servants of old were chosen to obey with speed, may we be bold to see Thy Grace in every time of need, and so be patient and persevering in running the race that is set before us. A former SAS member has told for the first time of the night the regiment suffered its heaviest loss of life – during the Falklands War 25 years ago.

There was a group of about seven of us. But their claims took a dramatic turn when they invaded them on the 2nd April 1982, a small Royal Marine presence on the Ireland was no obstacle for a nation’s army and they surrendered.

However, there was little intelligence on the Ireland, what intel there was came from the high speed over flights by British fighters, so a small reconnaissance team was inserted to a land mass opposite Pebble Ireland by rigid raider. Mick, who suffers from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and is a virtual recluse, said: "We were due to cross-deck from HMS Hermes to HMS Intrepid. However, close to Pebble Ireland lay San Carlos, the intended landing site of the main British ground forces, the planes there included the PIKARAR ground attack aircraft that would devastate the British landings, this threat had to be removed and the job fell to D squadron. “We swam together and clung to each other. Men who had been SAS soldiers together for years fought each other, desperately trying to reach a tiny air pocket. Knowing he was dead, I held on to his body to keep myself upright.

The Information that follows is collated from: During the night of 21 May, the British Amphibious Task Group under the command of Commodore Michael Clapp (Commodore, Amphibious Warfare – COMAW) mounted Operation Sutton, the amphibious landing on beaches around San Carlos Water, on the northwestern coast of East Falkland facing onto Falkland Sound. As we climbed, I became drowsy. "The engine struggled with the additional weight - it seemed as likely to drill a hole in the ship as to take off. So I pulled them down, grappled with them, my best mates, guys I loved, we all wanted to live. That is the way I still look at it, even now, 25 years on. “I think about little else. "I don't know how I pulled myself out of the Sea King.

As we climbed, I became drowsy.

Special Air Service (SAS) - The Falklands Conflict When Argentina invaded the Falklands in April, 1982, Britain dispatched a large Naval Task Force to recapture the Falklands. Here they would decide whether a squadron was needed all whether it was feasible for the recon team to do destroy the Super E’s and Exorcet missiles themselves. This just sounds a little unlikely but who knows? Flashbacks and nightmares were regular occurrences when he returned to operational duties.

In the ensuing chaos, most of the passengers drowned but the survivors fought each other as they tried to reach a tiny pocket of air – and then escape through one of the helicopter’s hatches. The patrol moved out seven days before the Para’s and Marines moved in to take Goose Green and in that time the garrison’s number had swelled to over 1300 men.

Mick added: "The medics put me under a mountain of blankets and gave me morphine. I had been thrown backwards and swallowed mouthfuls of water.

However the aircraft would often fly so low that the troopers were “choking on their exhaust fumes”, in one instance a transport helicopter was so laden with troops it was flying very low and very slow.

Mick was put on indefinite leave for six months immediately after the Falklands War. We didn't know he had seen a life raft and he left us to swim towards it. It would have been easy to shoot out the sky but this would have given away their position, G squadrons fight was with their eyes and ears. Then everyone’s survival instinct kicked in. It is a perfectly normal response to an abnormal, life-threatening incident. The OP wasn’t helped by the fact that to best observe the Argentine movements at it was necessary to set up the OP underneath the flight path of the enemy Pucaras and Chinooks.

The SAS were to board HMS Hummox, a submarine small enough to penetrate the sea defences of Tierra del Fuego, would insert D squadron off the shores of Argentina. He kept dropping it in the water because his fingers were so numb. "I have difficulty allowing people to get close to me because I always fear I will lose them.".

Where upon the sub would surface, the SAS would inflate rubber landing craft on the hull, the sub would submerge and the SAS would do a tactical landing on an Argentinean beach, where they would make their way to the Rio Grand Airbase and set up an OP.

Knowing he was dead, I held on to his body to keep myself upright. The SAS would move ships using a technique called cross decking, this simply meant throwing all their equipment into a helicopter, sitting on it through the journey getting off at the landing site, which would probably be another ship. B squadron gathered at the Ascension Isles and loaded into the 2 C130’s totally kited out, each man carried with him explosives, and either an M16 fitted with the M203 grenade launcher or a Minimi light machine gun. This we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Once there they would conduct a covert entry into the base, plant explosives on the two Super Etendard’s (that would threaten the British aircraft carriers,) extract, and escape and evade to the Chilean border where they’d catch a civilian flight home. “I don’t know how I pulled myself out of the Sea King.

So I pulled them down, grappled with them, my best mates, guys I loved, we all wanted to live. Night time was the SAS’s busiest time, as well as being the time that all squadrons could move around, it was also time to send their situation reports (sit-reps) by Morse code back to HMS Hermes where they were logging all the intelligence gathered by the patrols. I did not feel I deserved to live. The mission was a total success, and all eleven planes were destroyed, however on the extraction someone detonated an unexploded landmine, two troopers received shrapnel wounds but neither were serious and both made it back to the helicopter. It was finally realised that B squadron would have been killed in the raid and it was considered to big of a sacrifice. 'You don't want this in your life!' The Sea King had already tilted on its side and I was at the bottom of a heap of bodies. I couldn’t inflate my lifejacket. Then other people started appearing. The threat from the Argentinean Super E’s (that the scrubbed mission to Rio Grand Airbase went to destroy) could no longer be excepted; the probability of the British losing an aircraft carrier was great and could no longer be tolerated.
