Excursion to Hell

Bramley's account of his experiences in the Falklands campaign transcends time and place. Such stories are rarely committed to paper, but Bramley's story is as candid as this. Mount Longdon stands as a testament of common soldiers throughout history who are involved in wars not of their own making. It is filled with compassion and brutality in almost equal measure. Most of all, it is a story filled with confusion—confusion in the heat of battle and confusion in the hearts and souls of ordinary soldiers. Bramley was one of the few soldiers from the ranks to write of his experiences in battle.
