Assault On Mount Tumbledown -- June 13th & 14th, 1982 "Like Something Out Of World War One"

Yes the Battle for the Falkland Islands (UK) and Malvinas [Argentina] was a modern day warfare on the se and a bitter cold battle on the land Lt Col Charlie Brown
June was wintertime in this southern hemisphere island.
The Royal Marines and Commando were not strangers to combat. Britain sent some of the best fighting men to the war; but; the Argentinians sent a mix of excellent to run of the mill.
The run-of-the-mill Argentinian troops suffered much from the cold and the fighting.

Argentina claimed an unusually wide sea area

Of course the article you selected focused on a UK infantry engagement against Argentine Marines.

Infantry close-combat battles tend to be bitter and bloody since ancient times.
The engagements of the Royal Marines and Commando are absent from this article.

Off-shore, a French-built Exocet missile sank the HMS Sheffield which angered British subjects for many reasons.

At that time I was stationed in an infantry battalion in Germany. I rooted for the British forces in that war and was glad when they won the war albeit at a cost of men and a materiel.

Britain sought to capture an Exocet anti-ship missile to study it.

This conflict was interesting to me since it was closest one to my career as an anesthetist. There were a number of interesting tidbits that came out, medical wise. One was to make sure you secured empty morphine syringes to the wounded and to note the times of the doses
It was so cold, the morphine was circulating slowly, people were giving more than necessary to the wounded. When they would start to warm up in the med tents, the total dose of morphine started circulating and putting these guys in respiratory distress, thus needing narcan to reverse the resp. distress.

Interesting read, Col. We heard a lot about the sinking of Gereral Belgrano, but little about the ground combat. It seems from the results, military intelligence dropped the ball, in several areas.
