proaching Stanley from the west
with strong gun emplacements
If the British seize the heights,
they can train their 10Smm artil
lery on the Argentine defenses.
The paratroopers had left the
British beachhead at San Carlos
Thursday and crossed about 40
miles of boggy terrain and rocky
ridges to attack Mount Kent.
The southern attack force of
paratroopers and marines also
moved out of San Carlos and in
a major land battle Friday seized
the settlements of Goose Green
and Darwin, 40 miles west of
Stanley, taking 1.400 Argentine
prisoners according to the of
ficial British account.
The Defense Ministry said 17
British troops were killed in the
attack, but gave no figures for
Argentine casualties Military
sources, however, have said
100 Argentinians died and 120
were wounded in fierce fighting

predicted the battle for Stanley
would be the decisive en
counter in the undeclared war
that developed after Argentina
seized the British-held South
Atlantic islands April 2
