We call on the government to amend the awards system to permit retrospective awards for such exceptional cases and to formally recognize Cpl McLaughlin.

@Jimmyocx3 Your book is without doubt the best account of a single battle I've ever read. A masterpiece, and a fitting tribute to you, and the men you fought with.

Bit of personal news… my book, Long Way Home, is out in paperback next week.
It’s my story of coping with the challenge of tragedy, grief and war.
Some of it proved painful to write, but I hope it will be a compelling read. Let me know what you think!
At the Battle of Mt Longdon, with surprise gone & under heavy Argentine machine gun & rifle fire, CPL Scouse McLaughlin turns to his pinned down blokes & says, “Follow me lads, I’m f***ing bulletproof”.
He inspires them, & with bayonets fixed they charge forward. 1/2

Huge congratulations to @Jimmyocx3 whose incredible THREE DAYS IN JUNE is published this week by Monoray. Possibly the most detailed depiction of a battle you will ever read - told by the men themselves. An awe inspiring book. Thank you, Jimmy. #monoray@Octopus_Books
