31st December 1983 I was one of 3 Brit Expats working on Mout Pleasant major civil engineering project who travelled by Landrover, not easy trip, had to use bumper Jack 3 times!!!; we slept out at the foot by a stream in sleeping bags. Woke early, breakfast of cornflakes and tinned mk, set off and soon were engulfed in THICK fog. My mate D.C. (Donald Carruthers) ex Queen's Scout, navigated Steve Sacker and myself T.D. (Tony Davey)to the exact Summit cain and we found a tin with little hard back book I side and signed in as first civilians up to top of Usbourne after Falklands War. Spent an hour up at Summit, as now fog had dissipated and enjoyed a 360 deg spectacular view of East Falklands. Descended and drove back to camp after wishing each other and absent families a Happy New Year 1984. I post this in memory of my late best friend D.C. (DONALD CARRUTHERS). Posted by T.D. (Tony Davey). Proud Cornishman and Cornishlegend.

According to the Port Stanley Tourist Board, Christ Church is the most southerly Anglican cathedral in the world, and was consecrated in 1892 by the first Bishop of the Falkland Islands, Waite Hockin Stirling. This historic building features a cathedral tower with a ring of five bells, 19th and 20th-century stained glass windows and a two manual pipe organ built in Ireland. In addition, there are also locally-stitched needlepoint hassocks with scenes relating to the church and life on the Islands along with a collection of historic memorabilia. When open, you can visit at no charge, though a donation towards the maintenance of the building is highly recommended.

No visit to the Falkland Islands and its capital Stanley would be complete without visiting the 1982 memorial. Easy access and on the sea front pretty much in the centre of Stanley. Well maintained and a fitting memorial to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in liberating these islands from illegal occupation in 1982.

I helped build this cemetery in early 1983 as part of 2 Troop 51 Field Squadron (construction) Royal Engineers. We exhumed the bodies from around Goose Green and Darwin, and with the aid of the War Graves commission and undertakers from the UK, we attempted to identify every body, all the time treating them with care and dignity right up to the time they were reinterred in the War Graves. The official ceremony was very touching, and I plead that all those who do go to visit to please remember the situation that caused those men to be buried there and to treat the area with the dignity and solemnity it deserves.

Brief visit whilst on cruise visit. A peaceful place to say the Daily Office whilst reflecting on how Islanders suffered during 1982 conflict
