Tumbledown The True Story | Captain Robert Lawrence MC Scots Guards | Bought The T-Shirt Podcast

The account of the guards at 26 minutes after waking up the snoring Argentinian soldiers is astounding. Brings out the worst and the best out of people as they say.

Fantastic interview........What a character...........Thanks and Blessings.........

Really enjoyed the chat Capt. Lawrence MC is an absolute legend

Great interview. I must admit being young and dumb and full of cum I joined the army after I watched Tumbledown in 1988, I did four years as a medic, served in Iraq in 1991 and had an ambiguous experience, nevertheless Captain Lawrence was someone I looked up to even though I never knew him. Great podcast. I liked and subscribed.

What a bloke. Thanks gent's.

Really enjoy this thanks

A very dashing man then and now.

Please forgive already commented, however, Thatcher set out her stall and she demanded a victory parade and she was attacked at every side for the glorification of War. Particularly the Belgrano. The Political climate was really harsh. The Unions who worked tirelessly to get the ships ready for sea. Maggie was taking on the Unions and dismantling them. Once our blessed boys were going then my husband said when Politics fail then the population has to get behind the men who will di the fighting. A do hope that The Falklands does not become our forgotten War like Korea

Aguante el glorioso BIM5, en la ciudad donde vivo tenemos un veterano del BIM5 que le reventó la cecera a lawrence y gracias a Dios enterramos a varios ingleses para siempre 🤙🤙😎😎

A voice of reason who’s been there and done it. I know he’s had his troubles but his strength is remarkable.

Just an American researching the topic of the Falklands and unaware of this man's name until today, but precisely how in the hell is it even physically possible to be shot in the head, lose nearly half one's brain, and somehow come out the other end with an intellect easily rivaling my own WHILE apparently half in the bag on stout??! Good lord, he must have been Stephen fucking Hawking on speed before the bullet hit!

what a fantastic Guy

When I was around 15 I sat next to Robert at a dinner party of my brothers godfather Charles Wood who wrote the screenplay for Tumbledown. Still amazed that Robert Lawrence could function so well with half a brain basically!

God bless you both. Scouts guards 💂‍♂️ 🇬🇧

brilliant interview

Really appreciate that guys. Sad as it may be.

A soldiers officer.....
Would have had, and still has, the respect of those he led.

We (1 Cheshire) took over the Scots Guards, Hong Kong, 1984, 1st Bn.
We also changed guard with the Scots Guards, Buckingham Palace, 1986.
I was one of the first to change guard at one of the sentry boxes. I remember very well at the changeover shouldering up to the Guardsman and bouncing off him 🤣, he was a tall bloke, good job I was in a good mood that day.

Spot on concerning the treatment of veterans, all we get now are false promises spoken in order to temporarily appease, then the false promises evaporate into the sands of time.

I read Roberts book when it came out ,in the late 80s (When the fighting is over ) I thought it was a brilliant read.

Escocés esclavo !! Chupamazo de los ingleses !! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Excellent interview. Still I have to mention there is ignorance about Argentina, the Argentine claim, etc. Also, the Dirty War in Argentina carried out by the military wasn't that different from the British campaign in Northern Ireland. Regarding the kelpers...the claim is not about sovereignty so if they want to be British that is not different from the 100.000 Argentine British who lived in Argentina in 1982. God bless all veterans and the dead on both sides. At the end is just one side

Top Man , I could listen all day , great

I ask you, if you already stuck your bayonet 3 times, the soldier is out of combat, and you keep nailing it, isn't that an execution? You will not meet the Geneva Convention?

War is bloody awful, however these guys did the job they were trained and paid to do with incredible professionalism.
And the point that needs to be remembered is that Junta running Argentina was basically a Fascist government.
Every man women on that Island would have “disappeared “ as so many Argentinian’s did at the time.
The lads didn’t just stop this happening but in the longer term it brought this dictatorship to an end.
But the price they paid as individuals is one that only they can decide if it was worth it?

I listen to witness😔

Rupert mouthing off while he's drunk? Telling stories about the real, "Soldiers that he lead into their," DEATH!"

Politicians are so careless with our military lives .

I was nearly 16 years old when the Falklands started and I have respect to all the Falklands veterans and all veterans respect to you Robert Lawrence x

This is brilliant to see. I remember being about 7 years old and having a special weekly assemblies to say prayers for the army in The Falklands.. Then I saw Tumbledown when it was in TV and it disturbed me for years. I've had the dvd of Tumbledown a while now but seeing CPT Lawrence speak in person is immense. Thank you. What an absolutely top bloke he is.

Notice the difference between a Brit and a Yank when recollecting events they went through in war? A brit will tell you exactly what happened from their perspective. And then you have the likes of Marcus Luttrell, (Navy Seal, Op Red Wings) completely exaggerating the story just to save face. And I'm sure if Robert sees this, he will laugh. I was arguing with a Yank yesterday who claimed that if it weren't for the Americans, we would have lost the war? They try and take the credit for a war they never even took part in. I'll bet they even wear South Atlantic Medals on their uniforms, we all know what they're like.

From public duties to the Falklands! Some people just have no idea what an achievement what that really was.

Crazy I'm watching this now and only last night I was watching the movie Tumbledown.

Everything Robert has been through, I keep wondering how the hell he wasn't another suicide statistic and many of the Falklands Veterans were. I had a friend that served in the same regiment as myself (Welsh Guards) who was a Falklands Veteran and he cut his own throat at a war memorial years after the war. I am in awe of the men who served down there, and that war was my own inspiration to join up. What courageous brilliant men we have. RIP to all that never came home.

As a ex Raf person in the cold war era I salute you Cpt Lawrence thank you for your service and are very brave for everything you went through and i agree all our veterans should be treated with respect and get the help they deserve ,not living on the streets , Great Podcast Chris 👍👍👊

Just found this and have been so moved by the truth of war loved it ❤❤❤

there are boys who want it , doing the hard yards , just to get there, it;s a hill to climb. I'm told possible conscription, we only have 700000 18 yr olds, so half that (no offence to our sisters) as a dad , scares me. I would rather me than them

Not just ferociously brave but gut-wrenchingly articulate, compassionate, educated, self aware, razor-sharp and funny, terrifyingly well-informed with an amazing God-sent disregard for bullshit of every stripe, regardless of reputation, and just so SMART. Thank you Captain Lawrence. This guy has it all. Wow. And . . I still can't credit fully quite what I was hearing. it was just so amazing . . Thank you again.

I love hearing our veterans stories no matter what they have done or where i just enjoy the trust that so many veterans give me with their stories to a civilian.

Terrible war kids geting bayoneted in sleeping bags

thank god for men, like this man, australian para from 1987 to 1993, watched the "Tumbledown" movie & the bbc interview, leader of men & a real example of courage under fire "Nemo Me Impune Lacessit"

Base Note: Governments bought out by Billionaires & Industries to CREATING WARS..to FUND the Military Complex. Its an OnGoing Problem. SO many wars could have been avoided IF people would Wake Up to this.

fantastic video

A true soldier….

He lost 42% of his brain and was paralyzed for almost a year down his left side as a result of his injury. What's your excuse?
