Showing tonight (7th April 2022) at 9.00pm on UK television (ITV) 'Falklands War: The Forgotten Battle'
Ben Fogle tells the story of Naval Party 8901, a small garrison of fewer than 70 Royal Marines who were assigned to protect the Falkland Islands before the Argentinian occupation.
Ben hears from veterans who faced the initial invasion - by a force of at least ten times their number. Ben travels to the Falklands to relive the reality of the battle and learns why the
men of Naval Party 8901 want their story to be told.
