Private Ian Scrivens was a 17 year old from the 3rd Battalion, The Parachute Regiment when he was killed on Mount Longdon on 11 June 1982. He and 3 other friends, all 17 years old, joined up. Privates Scrivens, Jason Burt and Neil Grose, were killed the same day, but Scrivens was the youngest of the group.
Mark Eyles-Thomas, who is now in his late 40s, was the only one of the 4 friends who survived.
The youngest sailor in the Falklands War was 16-year-old Simon Weston, who served on the British ship HMS Glamorgan. He was one of the youngest members of the British Armed Forces deployed during the conflict. Although he was technically too young to enlist, he joined the Royal Navy at a young age. The war highlighted the involvement of young servicemen in military conflicts.
