Fire Mission Falklands: A 148 Battery Commando's War

Steve "Tommo" Thomas recounts his service with 148 Commando Forward Observation Battery during the Falklands, directing naval gunfire and artillery in some of the campaign's worst conditions. Thomas's unusual path — Royal Navy sailor turned commando and P Company graduate — gives him a perspective few veterans can match, and the detail on forward observation work in the South Atlantic is the kind of operational granularity you rarely get. Colin Ferguson, himself a 22-year Army veteran, knows exactly what questions to ask, and the 90-minute runtime lets the conversation breathe.
