Came across this image on a wall at RMB Chivenor in Devon last week. It was titled, 'Royal Marines, Falklands, 1982'.

Good to see Simon Weston on Antiques Roadshow. His own medals but telling other people’s stories. He was supportive when the press had a bash at me for wanting to do the archaeology of the Falklands War. It’s a living history and an important one.

In November last year, the ‘1982 Uncovered’ exhibition opened at St Peter's College College Chapel. It proved a powerful way to remember.

Jim Peters (ex Scots Guards) in 2022 looking for remains of the curry he scoffed in lee of that rock during a lull in fighting during Battle of Tumbledown 1982. This was when we realised he’d become an archaeologist. Today he’s joining me on my tour of Culloden. Scottish Centre - War Studies/Conflict Archaeology

Seeing as Culloden is trending. This is happening in November. eventbrite.co.uk/e/professor-to…

In the shed putting finishing touches to a paper on Falklands War Mapping Project co-written with Tim Clack. A year and a half on and it’s still one of the best things l’ve ever been involved with. Looking forward to a return. Falkland Islands Museum & National Trust Waterloo Uncovered UofG Archaeology UofG History Scottish Centre - War Studies/Conflict Archaeology

Pleased to see this appear and a nice reminder of the work Waterloo Uncovered did this summer.

Hougoumont, the fight at the quarry. It’s a thrill to write that down for first time.

Love this sketch by Falklands War Mapping Project artist in residence & 2 Para veteran Doug Farthing. He dashed this off while watching our latest Waterloo Uncovered Excavation Diary video! youtu.be/Tbi0rmPCXR0

Back at keyboard to finish first draft of report on pilot season of Falklands War Mapping Project fieldwork co-writ with Tim Clack. On revisiting outreach programme reminded how brilliant our project artist Doug Farthing is. Here's Tim & me pondering Mount Kent helicopter wreck. Waterloo Uncovered

Thinking of my team mates John Litterick & james david peters on Falklands War Mapping Project project. #OTD in 1982 fought as Scots Guards in Battle of Tumbledown & in 2022 became first war veterans ever to assist in archaeological survey of their own battlefield.
