"The men of the RM M&AW Cadre advanced to a fence line from where they could see the house. The Group split into two. A 7 man fire team which went left to a gap in the fence, about 150m from the house, and an assult team including cpt. Boswell which used dead ground to work their was closer to the house. Boswell was worries that the covering of snow on the ground , and thier lack of winter comouflage, would give away their position to the Argentines. However, after a four day patrol there they apprear to have had just one lone sentry looking out of the window on the top floor.What happened next depends on the sources you read. Either Boswell decided to start the assult & fired a green flare at which point both the British fire team & the Argentine sentry opened fire, or the sentry spotted Boswells men against the snow & opened fire at which point the flare was fired and the British opened up.Which ever way it happened, LAWs & GLs fired at the house set it on fire. One of the Argentines on the top floor was shot dead by Cpl. Groves while another tried to give covering fire as the rest exited the single door."<img src="http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07/03/09bed8862809424aeb7dc90f4c500c36.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Aqui nombra a nuestro heroe el Teniente Espinosa. Segun esta fuente seria blanco de los disparos del Cabo Groves."Some were cut down as they made for a stream bed 50m away & some peat diggings a little closer. A number were traped in the buring house. One Jumping from the top floor window & continuing to fire untill killed at close range."Se refiere a la muerte del Sgto Mateo Esbert (mi baisano!)"There was then a firefight as the assult team tried to root out the Argentines before they could escape. During this phase the British suffered their only three casualties, from gunshot wounds."Heridos de la agrupacion inglesa:Sgt. DoyleSgt. GrovesCpl. StoneEstos son los tres nombres de los efectivos heridos por la 602 en TMH.
