Tam Noble describes being in the Battle of Mount Longdon, one of the fiercest and final battles of the war. PTSD wasn’t acknowledged at the time and it was many years later that a visit to the Falklands Islands became a trigger. This episode includes descriptions of post traumatic stress and violence.
