This brief report summarizes the first available findings on long‐term traumatic stress syndromes among ex‐servicemen who are veterans of the Falklands War. The results reveal a correlation between physical injury during the War and posttraumatic stress disorder, indicating the need for a long‐term follow‐up survey incorporating treatment evaluations and welfare rights.
