45th Commanndo Entering Stanley, with Two Sisters and Mount Kent in the Background, 15 June 1982


This painting by Joe Beetham illustrates the fact that the Argentines had surrendered before the British had reached Stanley itself. Therefore, there was to be no street fighting and it was a fairly straightforward advance into the port itself.
