BRITAIN-ARGENTINA-FALKLANDS-WAR-ANNIVERSARY-PEOPLE
TO GO WITH STORY BY CLAUDIA RAHOLA
Falklands War Veteran Simon Westen talks during an interview at his home in Cardiff on March 26, 2012. Weston became a symbol in Britain after returning miraculously alive from the Falklands War, and although 30 years have not erased the scars on his body he does not think badly of Argentine people, only their rulers. On June 8, 1982, six days before Argentina surrendered, Weston was on board the "Sir Galahad" in Fitzroy, south of the capital Port Stanley, ready to land with the rest of the troops, when the ship loaded with ammunition and fuel, was bombed by enemy aircraft. Forty-eight people died in the deadliest attack of the war for the British leaving Weston suffering burns to 46% body. AFP PHOTO / JUSTIN TALLIS
