As new Falklands-related books are published throughout the year, the Trustees always try to obtain a copy for review in the newsletter. Since publishing dates vary, the Trustees have introduced a new section on the website in which new additions to the library are introduced and reviewed.
The Library is run by volunteers and currently includes 150+ books. Indeed, we believe that the Chapel has one of the most comprehensive collections of 1982 related books, including an archive of all of the press cuttings of that time (donated by the MOD).
The following books, copies of which are in the Chapel library, have been reviewed by Trustee Rear Admiral Dick Melly:
