Falkland Cross Rededication

At the Welsh Guards annual Saint David’s day service on the 1st March, the Falklands Cross was rededicated and placed in its new home at the Garrison Church in Windsor.  The cross was one of the simplest yet most poignant memorials of the Falklands War: a roughly hewn wooden cross, carved and erected by the boys to honour the 32 fallen comrades killed by an Argentinian air strike on the Sir Galahad. The cross, which was first erected at Bluff Cove in the Falklands Islands in June 1982 was blessed, rededicated and installed in the garrison church in the Battalion’s new home in Windsor.
