The Goose Green sign

The Argentinian cemetery at Darwin
 The spot on San Carlos Water just off to the right where 2nd Para landed.
 A view of the military hospital.
 San Carlos Water or Bomb Alley and a marker in mid distance showing where HMS Antelope was sunk.
 The pier next to where 2nd Para landed
 The British cemetery at San carols with its fourteen graves, seven naval on the left and seven army on the right, including Lt Col H Jones and the helicopter pilot sent to rescue him, Nunn and Capt Dunn.
 Some mortar shell casings that still litter the battlefield, plus Alan our guide.
 The Darwin cemetery for civilians with its stuffed sheep dog.
 There were sixteen defensive positions dug in between here and the bush in the distance.
 This is the gulley that Lt Col H Jones tried to rush.
The Lt Col H Jones memorial on the spot where he was killed.
The shed where the Goose Green surrender by the Argentinians was signed. It was in neutral territory but was used as the store room for the local airfield fire extinguishing trailer and is still used for the same purpose today.

Views of the shearing shed where the Goose Green Argentinian were held captive.
