It beautifully shows that in war the focus is taken away from a sense of duty and "Queen and Country" and becomes about those around you. In 2015, world leaders adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in which they included a clause to end child labour. If the British forces were to take Port Stanley, the capital of the Falkllands, it was important for them to open the door by taking the high ground of Mount Longdon.That did not cover doctors or dentists but did include many paramedics, physios, cleaners and porters - although members of both the nurses' union, the Royal College of Nurses (RCN), and Unite, which represents some ambulance staff, voted against it. 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). World Refugee Day also marks a key moment for the public to show support for families forced to flee.
