Great Photos but I always wonder where the photos of the Argentinian soldiers are?
We should not forget that they were soldiers and in the most part just doing their jobs and had many losses too.

The Junta were fools to think we would not retaliate and take back the Falklands

Very true, I will try and find some usable sources.

Great Photos.
read a previous post on here about the ridiculous possibility that the Argentinians would invade again. (think it was posted by a member called Mineman)

Anyway

If they invaded again they should expect the same response.
Regardless of what the Argentinian people think about the Falklands and its sovereignty, too many people have died keeping it safe in British hands.
The Falklands has been occupied by the Brits for many years and I doubt that the British Government would allow it to be taken again. It would show weekness and that is something the British people are not, like it or not.

I feel very sorry for the Argentinian soldiers who died and I will remember them in my prayers but thats how I feel about it.

I do not remember the name very well now, but I read somewhere that this Argentine soldier was one of the bravest during the fight in Goose Green and was one of the last to be captured

Bombardier · Dec 7, 2018

Respect to his bravery, I will see if we can find out more about him

I was unable to find anything on him in my search, I hope you will do better mate

TIGREDELAIRE · Dec 7, 2018

Sargento Martín René Colque "el gato cazador", he was from the group of Commandos that participated in the combats of San Carlos Bay, as commander of the "cat section", they fired their mortars until they finished the ammunition without having protection or coverage of the intense naval fire against their position; before being captured he took his beret and insignia of degree and buried them in position; he died in 2015

The peculiar thing of the uniform is the woolen sweater that it uses, it belongs to Color Sargent of the Royal Marines Commandos; his belt has on the engraved buckle the shield of the Falkland Islands.
