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

In November last year, the ‘1982 Uncovered’ exhibition opened at St Peter's College College Chapel. It proved a powerful way to remember. Please watch this short film to learn more: youtube.com/watch?v=rD_4V2… #remembrance Falklands War Mapping Project

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.

I know veterans can be incredible battlefield guides thanks to Falklands War Mapping Project. Back in the 1830s Edward Cotton, a 7th Hussars veteran of Waterloo, was a well know guide to the battlefield. Looking forward to piloting Waterloo Uncovered academy for veteran battlefield guides in September.

Just heard the sad news that Paul Haley has died. His iconic photo of the Scots Guards on top of Tumbledown will be an enduring image of the Falklands War.

Great to be there to see Dr William Spencer graduate with his PhD. It’s been an honour to join him on his journey as a Falklands veteran doing great work researching the use of archives by veterans. Scottish Centre - War Studies/Conflict Archaeology Andrew Hoskins
