Postscript summary

Nick van der Bijl was a Staff Sergeant, responsible for providing accurate intelligence on the Argentines during the Falklands conflict, initially from the UK and then after landing at San Carlos Water. In this frank memoir he recalls the operation, during which he attempted to assess the initial situation and interrogated opposing forces following their surrender. In the process, he casts light on the advisory role of intelligence in wartime in general.
