...Argentine soldiers at another harbor, Lieth, some 20 miles away. Those troops refused to surrender, making a further mopping-up necessary. In the end the British captured 156 Argentine soldiers and sailors and 38 Argentine civilians in the operation.

Doctors, who later set his right femur with a steel rod, theorized that his powerful thigh...
