Two British Army veterans who fought in the Battle of Mount Tumbledown are on a return visit to the Falkland Islands.

Jim and Jon, former Scots Guards soldiers, have been part of an archaeological and therapeutic visit to the battle site with the Falklands War Mapping Project, taking place to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the Falklands conflict.
