- The Battle of Mount Tumbledown was an engagement during the Falklands War. The engagement was an attack by the British Army and the Royal Marines on the heights over-looking Stanley, the Falkland Islands capital. Mount Tumbledown, Mount William and Sapper Hill lie west of the capital. Due to their proximity to the capital, they were of strategic importance during the 1982 War. They were held by the Argentine 5th Naval Infantry Battalion (BIM 5), a reinforced, cold weather trained and equipped, Marine battalion. The assaulting British forces were the 2nd Battalion, Scots Guards, 42 Commando, Royal Marines Mortar platoon and four light tanks of the Blues and Royals. The 1st Battalion, 7th Duke of Edinburgh's Own Gurkha Rifles were held in reserve. One of a number of night battles that took place during the British advance towards Stanley, the battle led to British troops capturing all the heights above the town, allowing the town's capture and the surrender of the Argentine forces on the islands.

La situación en las vecinas alturas de Wireless Ridge empeoró con el transcurso de la noche y finalmente el comandante del Batallón de Infantería de Marina N.º 5 se replegó en dirección a Sapper Hill debido a la amenaza que de un flanqueo de más de 100 paracaidistas y blindados enemigos sobre su puesto de comando en Moody Brook. A las 07:00, el cuartel general de la X Brigada ordenó erróneamente a la Compañía Nácar en Tumbledown replegarse a Sapper Hill debido al alto número de bajas que había sufrido. En la retirada los soldados argentinos se vieron obligados a enfrentarse solos al resto de los soldados británicos que defendían la cumbre y que atacaban constantemente. Cuando los mandos argentinos se percataron del error, solo quedaban en pie cuarenta refuerzos de la Compañía Piribebuy al mando del teniente primero Raúl Daniel Abella que resistían los ataques británicos.

- It was the Guardsmen of the Crown
Who scaled the Heights of Tumbledown
And fought that night a bloody fight
To see victory by dawn's first light.
From crag to crag amongst the rock,
They skirmished on, numbed by shock.
Through shell and mortar fire they moved,
Till at last the ground they'd proved
Port Stanley lay there... just ahead,
As they began to count their dead.
But where the glory, where the pride,
Of those eight brave men who died?
They who made that lonely sacrifice
And through each death paid the total price
In their final and heroic act,
Did surely speed the warring parties pact.
Each one who there his life laid down,
Saved countless others from their own unknown.
So those of you who live to talk,
Let your pride hover as does the hawk.
And never let men these acts forget,
Nor the memory of our dead neglect,
But once returned across this vast sea,
Remember then just what it was to be...
A Scots Guardsman. (en)
