S5 #087 3 Para Battle For Mount Longdon
Tuesday, 10 June, 2025
CONTENTI first recorded this as a two part interview with Parachute Regiment soldier Jimmy Morham 4 years ago as part of a discussion on his military career. This podcast has had the audio improved and focuses on the battle for Mount Longdon during the Falkland's War in 1982 and is being released as one episode on the anniversary of the battle. It is a compelling first hand account focusing on initial deployment preparations, the sea journey south, training at Ascension Island, landing at San Carlos Water, and the subsequent ground campaign culminating in the battle for Mount Longdon and the final surrender of Argentinian forces. Jimmy describes the harsh conditions, challenges with equipment, and the mindset of the soldiers facing a well-defended enemy, highlighting the importance of individual bravery and small-unit tactics during the intense night assault.WHERE TO GET OUR DESERT ISLAND DITS BOOK CHOICESMost of our book recommendations can be bought via the Unconventional Soldier Bookshop. 10% of each purchase supports the pod and helps independent book stores on line sales.
