June 14:The U.S. Army Birthday, Flag Day, Monkey Around Day, International Bath Day, National New Mexico Day, World Blood Donor Day This book is an account of the 3rd Battalion The Parachute Regiment during the last three days of the Falklands war, it has been put together with the goodwill of the members of 3 Para and their attachments. When I asked Lieutenant-General Sir Hew Pike KCB, DSO, MBE if he would do a read through, to make sure he had no objections to the content and if he would be kind enough to write the foreword, this was his reply, it sums up what the book is all about.

Days Are in June? - The Spruce What National Days Are in June? - The Spruce

You come away from reading Three Days in June with massive respect for the private soldiers of 3 Para and great appreciation for the leadership of 3 Para’s Non Commissioned Officers (NCOs). While the Battalion Commander, Company Commanders, and Platoon Commanders directed the battle, it was the Battalion, Company, Platoon, and especially the section level NCOs that were the glue that held the unit together. Padre Derek Heaver, the Chaplain, also made an impression on me for the part he played in the Medical and Evacuation Company. The author was motivated by the view that much of what had previously been written about the battle was very off-base, and he wanted to put the record straight. Having read some accounts of the battle I haven't seen all that much difference, though I haven't read everything on this subject. Besides, it's really only the veterans that give highly detailed accounts and he is merely bringing more of that to bear. He himself was seriously wounded very early in the battle and saw little of what happened, but this book gain credibility from the sheer volume of testimonies, as opposed to one-man accounts from the likes of Cooksey and Bramley. Their accounts are just as first-hand as anything from this book, but they are from one perspective not many. This is not a book written by an academic or a journalist, it is a book written by a soldier who was there; O’Connell not only served in the Falklands but participated in and was seriously wounded in the Battle for Mount Longdon. In this book, O’Connell doesn’t attempt to tell the story of the battle himself; he does it through interviews with many of the participants, radio log excerpts, diary entries, and excerpts from some secondary sources (as a radio hobbyist, I enjoyed the inclusion of the radio logs and I believe they add a lot to the account – there are times that you can feel the aggravation and frustration within them). The result is a soldier’s eye view of the battle told in the language of the soldier. I have never been in a battle, much less served in the military but I think this book probably comes as close as possible to relating the fear, confusion, stress, and emotion the soldiers of 3 Para and their supporting units felt without actually being there. The book is divided into eight chapters, with 4 chapters devoted to B Company, one chapter each devoted to Support Company, A Company, and C Company, 3 Para and one chapter devoted to the Medical and Evacuation personnel. The chapters use accounts from the soldiers involved, radio log entries, excerpts from diaries, and other sources which O’Connell puts together like pieces of a puzzle to give an overview of the battle chronologically with each Company. As he puts it in the introduction:

About James O'Connell, Lieutenant General Sir Hew Pike

Candid, gritty and, at times, gruesome, this is a warts ‘n’ all account by the young men who were there, and told in their words. This makes the book all the more readable as it’s the perceptions, the humour, the fears, the honesty and the sheer heroism of these men that shines through. Raja Parba, another name for Mithuna Sankranti is a traditional festival celebrated in the Indian state of Odisha. It is primarily a celebration of womanhood, fertility, and the onset of the monsoon season. The festival holds historical and mythological significance in Odia culture. Recreating 3 Para's bloody Falklands battle from multiple angles, James O'Connell - who fought there and was seriously injured himself - has written a gut-wrenching 360 degree classic. Every year June 12 is observed as National Red Rose Day. The birth flower of June is celebrated as the most iconic symbol of love and romance.

The Top 25 Christmas Cookbooks for 2023: A Smorgasbord of Inspiration for a Happy Foodie This Christmas Many veterans of war or conflicts who have returned injured or unharmed are seen to have survived and they are lauded as heroes, but this often creates its own pressures, because in many of them, on the inside, almost everything is broken, and this goes unseen. The war may have ended, but the sights, sounds, smells and emotions of war are etched onto the brain'shard drive. These memories are as clear and vivid as the moment a particular incident happened, and often can return unexpectedly, producing very deep emotions, that can be hard to control, ranging from depression, deep grief,floods of tears, to rage. Unintentionally, the veterans have simply brought the war home.

About This Edition ISBN: I'm grateful for O'Connell's labours. More strategic-level writers such as Hastings and Middlebrook give the battle curiously short shrift, especially compared to the more famous Battle of Goose Green, and this comprehensive treatment of a strategically significant battle was overdue and well-warranted. I can’t speak for O’Connell’s colleagues, but from the perspective of someone who wasn’t there, I believe he has succeeded in his goal. It’s worth mentioning that O’Connell treats his Argentinean adversaries with respect, including accounts from their perspective alongside those of the British troops. At the end of the book when he lists 3 Para’s dead and a Roll of Honor for the British troops, he also lists the Argentinean dead and a Roll of Honor for their troops as well. I also appreciate that he includes accounts from logistics, medical, and evacuation personnel. The last chapter truly conveys the frustration felt at the delays and difficulty in casualty evacuation.I wanted to give more of a 360 degree view, with a timeline and an accurate sequence of events, so that the reader and the soldiers who took part in the battle can understand more about their colleagues’ pars in the battle, as most of the soldiers who took part in the battle only knew their own part."
