FALKLANDS FORTY | Gurkha Voices from the Falklands by ChromeRadio published on 2022-07-07T12:04:20Z On 2 April 1982, ARGENTINA invaded and occupied the FALKLAND ISLANDS, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic. So began the FALKLANDS WAR, which ended just over 10 weeks later, on 14 June 1982, when Argentinian forces surrendered to British troops at Stanley, the capital of the Falkland Islands. 1/7 DUKE OF EDINBURGH'S OWN GURKHA RIFLES, under BRIGADIER (then LIEUTENANT COLONEL) DAVID MORGAN, took part in the FALKLANDS CONFLICT. For the past 40 years, most of the accounts of the Gurkhas' role in that conflict have been in English. In GURKHA VOICES FROM THE FALKLANDS, we hear from Gurkha veterans in their own language, Nepali. MUSIC & LYRICS | 'It's better to die than to be a coward' - composed & performed by Khagendra Limbu, ex Sgt, 7th Duke of Edinburgh's Own Gurkha Rifles. PRODUCTION | ChromeRadio for the Gurkha Museum | Series consultants - Brigadier David Morgan, Major Padam Angbuhang Limbu MVO & Major Dil Kumar Rai | Producer - Catriona Oliphant | Post-production - Catriona Oliphant & Chris Sharp.
