Aftermath:*
*
Argentinean Commander, Lt Col. Piaggi had established a strong line of defense along two small Hills between Darwin Settlement and the ruined building called Bocca-House. Darwin Hill was defended by A Company from RI 12, supported by 10 MAG MMG, two 81mm Mortars, one 105mm Howitzer, and one 120mm Mortar.*
Bocca-Hill was defended by one platoon from the RI 8, commanded by 2nd Lt. Aliaga, reinforced with the Service Company from the RI 12.*   
In the early hours of the morning, A/2 Para Coy clashed with the main Argentinean defenses at Darwin Hill. They were hit repeatedly and immediately went to ground, pinned-down by very accurate 105mm artillery fire from the 4th Airborne Artillery Group. *
As dawn breaks, the attacks from both sides bog down as B/2 Para and D/2 Para Companies come up against another Argentinean stronghold at Bocca-Hill.*
Lt Col. Jones was killed in an Argentinean counter-attack from one platoon lead by 2nd Lt. Gomez-Centurion. Gomez-Centurion Platoon was part of the 25th Infantry Regiment, an Argentinean special unit that had been air-transported from Stanley this morning to reinforce Goose Green. An Argentinean counter-attack was pushed back by the Paras and by noon, 2 Para had finally silenced the Argentinean positions at Darwin Hill and Bocca Hill. Now they had a good firing base for the next step against the Goose Green settlement and airfield.*
