Falklands War: Paratrooper tells of Argentine reaction
The Argentine invasion of the British-held Falkland islands in the far south Atlantic began 40 years ago on 2 April 1982.
It led to the deaths of 255 British military personnel, three islanders and 649 Argentine soldiers during the 74-day conflict.
Five of the Welsh servicemen who played a central role in the conflict are sharing their stories.
Manny Manfred, who was in the third parachute regiment, described how Argentine troops withdrew from the beach upon their arrival.
