    On this day - 9th April 1982

    Today is the 40th anniversary of SS Canberra setting sail for the Falkland Islands. Embarked were men of the 3rd Battalion the Parachute Regiment, the UK spearhead battalion - one of these men was my late father.
    Utrinque Paratus.
    I have his medals framed and hanging in my man cave.
