‘You're here to learn how to kill people’: Falklands and Troubles veteran recalls his career
Graham Eve boasts a military career which spanned over 8000 miles.
His start with the Parachute Regiment in Northern Ireland was a baptism of fire.
Tragedy rocked their unit in its first tour as they lost 20 of their men.
The Warrenpoint ambush of August 1979 marked the deaths of 16 of them.
Graham's service carried him to the Falkland Islands, where scenes got even bloodier.
255 British servicemen died alongside 655 Argentinians, and three individuals native to the islands also succumbed to the violence.
In this episode of the BelTel, the former Paratrooper and gun team commander joins Olivia Peden to tell his extraordinary story.
