Battle summary map below


Approach to Darwin - Late on Wednesday 26th as some 500 men of 2 Para move south towards Darwin, there is much uncertainty about Argentine strength in the area. However by the time of the surrender, and after allowance is made for the nearly 50 killed (not the originally reported 250), there are over 1,000 POW's including the 12th Inf Regt and a Coy from the 25th. With their approaches mined, the infantry are in well-prepared defensive positions, especially between Boca House and Darwin half way down the isthmus, and for support can call on 105mm artillery, AA guns later in the ground defence role, and attack aircraft from Stanley.
By early Thursday morning (27th), 2 Para has marched the eight miles from Sussex Mountains and reached the holding position at Camilla Creek House where most lie up all day. Two patrols from C Coy probe forward towards either side of the isthmus to plot some of the enemy defences, but later pull back under fire. (1 - map below) And then early that afternoon, two Harrier GR.3's attack Argentine positions with CBU's, and in a subsequent strafing run, one of them is hit probably by 35mm Oerlikon fire and crashes to the west of Goose Green [b27]. Sqdn Ldr Iveson ejects and hides up before being rescued three days later.

That night, the three 105's of 8 Bty RA and their ammo are flown to Camilla Creek House by No.846 Sea Kings, and "Arrow" heads into Grantham Sound, opening fire from there under the control of a naval gunfire observer. A later turret fault is repaired and she remains on station supporting the paras advance towards Darwin, when with the threat of air attack at dawn, has to return to San Carlos Water. Meanwhile that same evening, 2 Para moves off the two miles to the start line with C (Patrol) Coy leading the way. With D Coy at first in reserve, A and B Coy's wait on either side of Burntside Pond, the mortars to their rear, and the fire support company with its Milans initially across Camilla Creek from the forward Argentine positions. Early on Friday the 28th, the men of 2 Para prepare for a night attack against largely unknown forces across the open ground of the Goose Green area, five miles long and over a mile wide.

The Battle for Darwin and Goose Green, Friday 28th May - (2) At 3.30 am, A Coy moves off on the left and attacks Burntside House believed to be occupied by an Argentine platoon, but finds no-one there other than four unhurt civilians. (3) At 4.10 am, B Coy starts forward from the other side of Burntside Pond down the right flank with D Coy following them long the middle. With artillery support on both sides, B and D Coy's are soon in confused action against a series of enemy trenches, and as they slowly make progress, (4) A Coy moves past unoccupied positions at Coronation Point. Leaving one platoon of A Coy to provide covering fire from the north side of Darwin, the remainder start to circle round the inlet to take the settlement. As dawn breaks, the attacks on both flanks bog down as (5) B Coy comes up against the strongpoint of Boca House and (6) A Coy finds that a small rise, later known as Darwin Hill, is the key to the Argentine defences. Not until midday will 2 Para break through.
As A Coy is hit and goes to ground, Lt Col Jones and his Tac HQ come up, and another attempt to push forward is made which leads to two officers and an NCO being killed. He then moves off virtually on his own, and is soon shot and dying in an action which leads to the award of a Victoria Cross. Maj Keeble is called up from the rear, and leaving A Coy to slowly wrest Darwin Hill and pulling B Coy slightly back from Boca House, orders D Coy to move round them on the far right along the edge of the sea. Now in daylight, the battle continues with the Argentines helicoptering in their first reinforcements and flying more support missions. The first attack by Falkland's based aircraft took place earlier when a Grupo 3 Pucara was hit, probably by a Blowpipe SAM, but limped back to Stanley. (7) The next sortie by two more Pucaras catches two Royal Marine Scouts on their way in to casevac Lt Col Jones. Capt Niblett manages to evade them, but Lt Nunn is killed by cannon fire and goes down near Camilla Creek House [b28]. ( One of the Pucaras is later found to have crashed into high ground returning to Stanley [a58].

By midday, A Coy has taken and holds Darwin Hill, and B and D Coy's have finally silenced Boca House. Still under fire, (9) D and C Coy's head towards the airfield and Goose Green while (10) B Coy circles east to cut off the settlement. During the attack towards the schoolhouse, three men of D Coy are killed in an incident involving a white flag. (11) Now into the late afternoon, aircraft from both sides come on the scene, starting with two MB.339's of CANA 1 Esc and two Pucaras of Grupo 3 which hit the school area. One of the Navy jets is brought down by a Royal Marine Blowpipe [a59], and minutes later one of the Pucaras drops napalm and the other is shot down by small arms fire [a60]. (12) Then three Harrier GR.3's bring much needed relief by hitting the AA guns at Goose Green with CBU's and rockets.

With evening approaching and the Argentines squeezed in towards Goose Green, (13) more reinforcements arrive to the south by helicopter, while to the north, J Coy 42 Cdo is flown in reinforce 2 Para but too late to join in the fighting. Two Argentine POW's are sent in to start negotiations which last most of the night, and next morning, Group Capt Pedroza surrenders all his forces to Maj Keeble. British losses are fifteen men from 2 Para, a Royal Engineer and the Marine pilot, and 30 to 40 paras wounded. Many of the 1,000 Argentine POW's including the FAA men sail on "Norland" to Montevideo in early June.
