May is a month of commemoration for the population of the Falkland Islands, as the 44th anniversary of the Argentine armed invasion falls this month — an occupation that was defeated and expelled following the landing of the Task Force dispatched by London.
That event took place on 21 May 1982 in San Carlos Bay, and it was the action that, just three weeks later, on 14 June, brought about the surrender of the Argentine occupation forces.
