Mark Trainor served for 14 years in the Royal Navy and was aboard HMS Glamorgan during the Falklands Conflict in 1982. On the 12th of June it was struck during the by an Exocet missile.
On that day, 14 of his shipmates were killed, and the harrowing events left a lasting impact on the then 21-year-old
“I was on a ship with the best family I could imagine,” recalled Mark, who still feels the weight of those memories today.
..the ship took that hit at 6:37...13 people did die on the ship that day. Our memorial park in the Falklands lists 14. That was somebody I knew very well, Jock McCann, he died when we got home... I always think about our Shipmates who never returned to port with us.
Mark 'suddenly felt alone' when he began adjusting to civilian life and thought he 'didn't have any support.'
