Called to action on 2 April 1982, the men of 45 Commando Royal Marines assembled from around the world to sail 8,000 miles to recover the Falkland Islands from Argentine invasion.

La dernière joie de Jean de Lattre de Tassigny fut d'apprendre, à la veille de sa mort le 11 janvier 1952, qu'il était élevé, et lui seul, à la dignité de maréchal de France.
