Falkland Islands

History of the Falklands Dispute

On some of the history I totally agree with you, especially the bit about Rodrigo Borgia, it's unfortunate that actual Vatican archives back it up.....  (Nov 5, 2009 | post #3)

Falkland Islands

ISLAS MALVINAS, SU HISTORIA, LA GUERRA

It would be worthwhile checking out the below 'download' (about 2 mB) for your studies, it has an interesting section about Luis Vernet. Spanish PDF: http://www.falklan dshistory.org/span ish4.pdf It will be interesting to see if any body can come up with actual historical documents to prove this publication (or any part of) to be incorrect.  (Oct 5, 2009 | post #3)

Oops I've omitted people from the original list, after 27 years the memory is fuzzy - my apologies. The Correct list should be as follows: Ronnie Lamb Jem Bayliss Fred Clark Terry Peck CPM Anton Livermore CPM Bob Peart Bob Stewart Lewis Clifton Pauline Sacket Ronnie Lamb and Pauline Sacket were both deported back to the United Kingdom by the Argentine invaders, because they were both born in the UK and not deemed to be Falkland Islanders. Again apologies for the first posting that was incorrect.  (Sep 17, 2009 | post #3)

As I recall: Ronnie Lamb (arrived in the Falklands a month or two prior to the commencement of Argentine hostilities, to take up the position of Chief of Police) Terry Peck (deceased) Jem Bayliss Fred Clark Anton Livermore (Police cadet at the time) Can't be sure if I've omitted any body, but it is 27 or so years ago. If you wish to see a picture of the police station then click the following link: http://www.falklan dia.com/Stanley_To wn/Stanley_Town/St anley_Police_Stati on.htm all the best, and if you need any more then let me know.  (Sep 16, 2009 | post #2)
