This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Falklands War.

Did you serve during the conflict? Or were you living on the islands? We want to hear your first-hand accounts of living through the war, whether as a civilian or as a member of the armed forces.

We'd welcome any photographs you have from the time too, to help us compile an historical snapshot of the UK at war.


Listen to some of our coverage on the Falklands anniversary:

Trevor Edwards and Neil Shaw were among a group of scientists who saw that an Argentine ship had landed on South Georgia on the 19th of March, 1982. The ship landed without permission and its crew hoisted the Argentine flag. Trevor Edwards took down a note from the Falkland Islands' Governor to the captain of that ship demanding the vessel's departure, and he and Neil Shaw went aboard the ship to hand over the letter. That demand was refused and the incident escalated into the Falklands War. The note is on display at the National Army Museum. Hear Neil Shaw telling us what happened that day.


Twenty five years on from the Falklands campaign, the 大象传媒 is making a drama documentary on Margaret Thatcher and the crisis - focusing on the seventeen days between the departure of the task force after the Argentinian invasion to its arrival in the south seas. Pathe and 大象传媒 Films have teamed up to make the film. We speak to Iain Dale, publisher and Conservative blogger, and author of a tribute to Lady Thatcher; and to Steve Nallon, her voice in Spitting Image. Listen to the interview.


During the Falklands War, serving troops did not enjoy the luxury of being able communicate with home rapidly through email and cellphones. Instead they relied on pen and paper. We're following the events of 25 years ago through the letters of Rear Admiral John Lippiett and his wife Jenny. They have published the letters in a book "War and Peas - Intimate Letters from the Falklands War," and they have been reading their letters for us. to find out more and to hear the readings again.


Contact us here and we'll get in touch to follow up your story - no matter how minor or distant you think your role was, we'd love to hear from you.
