Memorials

This is a painting by Colin Waite of the memorial at Bethas Beach on the Falklands Islands. This memorial is classed by many as the most important memorial and tribute to Foxtrot 4 and her crew.
It sits on Berthas Beach looking out to the site where we know that F4 was attacked on the 8th of June 1982

The National Memorial Arboretum at present the names are the only reference to the fate of Foxtrot 4 but we want to move towards a dedicated memorial at the site and this would be our ultimate goal.

This bench was presented to the Landing Craft Branch by the Parents of Marine John Rundle when the Landing Craft Branch was still based at the Hard in Poole. Sadly it now sits, as does the memorial cairn and flag pole behind the bench in the picture, behind locked gates due to role that Poole now has. It is possible to visit the bench, which is a great place to sit and reflect, though there are hoops to go through to gain access to the site.

The Falkland Islands Memorial Chapel at Pangbourne College was built to commemorate the lives and sacrifice of all those who died in the South Atlantic in 1982 and stands as a permanent memorial to remember them – and the courage of the thousands of Servicemen and women who served with them to protect the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands.
The Chapel is located in the grounds of Pangbourne College, near Reading in Berkshire, RG8 8LA.

This plaque is at Pangbourne Chapel Memorial Garden dedicated to the six who died from HMS Fearless on Foxtrot 4

The sad omission from this plaque at the National Memorial Arboretum is where the drive started to get F4 and her crew remembered
