Memorial Wood, Stanley – 20 Mar 11

I’d been told about Memorial Wood by someone who had been out here before and had recommended it for a walk. This was probably going to be my last visit to Stanley and as it was such a beautiful, crisp autumn morning now seemed as good a time as any. There is a tree planted for those from the task force and the three civilians that didn’t survive the conflict back in 1982. I found it very moving walking through the wood, reading the names of those remembered but was heartened by the work of the local cub scouts who have planted thousands of bulbs that come up each spring. It is a lovely setting overlooking Port Stanley and a very fitting memorial.
