⁣Simon Weston CBE is a veteran of the British Army who is known for his
charity work and recovery from severe burn injuries suffered during the
Falklands War. On 8 June 1982 he was boarded with other members of his
regiment on RFA Sir Galahad in Port Pleasant near Fitzroy, just off the
Falkland Islands. It was hit and set on fire by the Argentine Skyhawk
fighters during the Bluff Cove Air Attacks. His ship was carrying a huge
amount of ordinance and thousands of gallons of diesel and petrol. Out
of his platoon of 30 men, 22 lost their lives. The Welsh Guards lost a
total of 48 men and 97 wounded aboard the Sir Galahad. Simon survived
with 46% burns, following which his face was barely recognisable.
