Sad Loss of Major-General Sir Jeremy Moore |
|
 |
Major-General Sir Jeremy Moore, who died on Saturday aged 79, was the Commander of Land Forces during the Falklands War.
Already well known within the Royal Marines and the British Army as a gallant officer, the Falklands War in 1982 made Moore a household name in Britain, most of the English-speaking world, and in Argentina.
Moore was on the point of retiring from the Royal Marines when the Argentines invaded the islands on April 2 1982.
