Quotes When I gave the orders for the landing at San Carlos to the Commanding Officers of the Units in 3 Commando Brigade I said, among other things, that the operation we were about to embark upon would not be a picnic. I was determined that no one in my Brigade would be under any illusion but that we would have to fight to win.
