ADDRESS BY THE REPRESENTATIVE
AT THE FALKLAND ISLANDS GOVERNMENT ANNUAL RECEPTION
14TH JUNE 2001
Two new Foreign Office Ministers have been given responsibility for Latin American and Falkland Islands issues -- Dr Denis MacShane, a former journalist and BBC producer, who replaces John Battle; and Baroness Amos, an academic, who takes over Overseas Territories affairs from Baroness Scotland.
It has long been a legend of the Falklands War that the Argentines defending Stanley were so terrified of the Gurkhas, Nepalese soldiers fighting for the British, that they ran from their positions before the small but ferocious Gurkhas were able to make contact.
A recent estimate that as many as 100 veterans of the Falklands War may have committed suicide in the 19 years since 1982, seven of them in the past year alone, has caused concern in Combat Stress, the leading British charity concerned with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
