You could have knocked me over with a feather when our ex-head boy was on the news as the Argie's had tried to invade South Georgia (uninhabited) to gain a foothold to the Falklands. He was a Captain in the Royal Marines at the time and his cadre specialised in cold weather operations.
He contacted next in command to get permission to return fire, he was told not to.... he told them to stuff it as the security and saftery of his men were his priority..... so they did.
The rest is history.
I remember when he was head boy, we all knew he was joining the Royal Marines and I quipped at the time, if anyone starts WWIII it will be Keith going against orders!
He's even in Wiki if you're interested: Captain Keith Mills DSO
And here he is being interviewed [Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNN_bcX6PtU&t=2293s]

That is interesting, Jane.
And cheers for the link...
