Ben Fogle presents a powerful documentary on ITV tonight titled Falklands War: The Forgotten Battle, which chronicles the first engagement of the conflict that began in 1982.<\/p>\n

The programme includes interviews with members of Naval Party 8901, a small detachment of royal marines who were stationed on the islands and expected to face off against hundreds of Argentine soldiers with virtually no warning.<\/p>\n

Inaccurate media coverage published at the time diminished the experiences of the brave unit, but this documentary aims to set the record straight about what really happened \u2013 with the men themselves having some harrowing things to say.<\/p>

Watch an advance clip from the documentary below, which features interviews with some of the members of Naval Party 8901, who were on the ground in the Falklands that fateful day.<\/p>
