    Up The Falklands!


    Recommended Posts

    I don't know if anybody will remember this book. It was printed in 1982 and is a series of cartoons that were produced by 3 Royal Marine SNCOs. I picked a copy up when it was first published and still find it as amusing today as I did then.

    Being a little too young to have taken part in the conflict (by 3 years) I don't think I appreciated the humour as fully as I do now, I think the forces necessarily has an 'odd' sense of humour and I love the ability that comes with inter unit/service rivalry to poke fun at each other and ourselves in times of crisis.

    I am not sure whether anything has ever been published about recent conflicts and perhaps someone may be able to fill me in on that. I am not certain that this kind of humour would be well received by the general public today, perhaps due to differing attitudes/generations or perhaps just good taste?!
