South Atlantic Soldier - MR Stuart Pereira

Welsh born Tony Gomez's Spanish father was lost at sea before he was born. Nearing the end of his service in the Territorial Army SAS, he is fluent in Spanish and has a PHD in zoology. In 1982 the forty one year old is mobilized with fellow TA soldier Yorkie Barnes to join the British task force sailing to the Falklands. Ex Para, boxing champ Barnes, left secondary school at fifteen. He is chalk to Gomez's cheese. Inserted behind enemy lines, they contact a regular SAS patrol to interrogate an Argentine pilot. It is their first taste of war. The regulars, consider them amateurs, unfit to wear the SAS badge, but the pair prove themselves in running firefights which test the 'amateurs' to the limit. Later while recovering from wounds aboard a hospital ship, Tony Gomez stumbles across a shocking link to his past, which questions everything he believes of his family history. Ten troubled years later he returns to the Falklands to find closure and lay a ghost.
