When the Fighting Is Over: A Personal Story of the Battle for Tumbledown Mountain and Its Aftermath

by John Lawrence, Robert Lawrence

This is the story of Robert Lawrence of the Scots Guards who was severely wounded as he led his platoon in an attack against an Argentinian machine-gun position during the battle for Tumbledown Mountain in 1982. The injury to Lawrence's head was so severe that it was assumed that he would die and he had to wait for four hours before medical staff could help him, but he did eventually make a recovery, coming to terms with his paralysis.

An incredible story. What a wonderful man & family . Robert showed pure guts and determination , very inspiring.

I truly hope things are better now for injured servicemen, they are not an embarrassment they are the best of us .
