Argentines visit fallen soldiers' graves in Falkland Islands


The families of 90 Argentine soldiers killed during the 1982 war with Britain traveled Monday to the Falkland Islands to visit the graves of loved ones who were recently identified under an agreement between both countries. The families of the fallen Argentine troops paid tribute Friday to Geoffrey Cardozo, a retired British colonel. In 1983, Cardozo, then a young captain, was ordered to recover and rebury the Argentine troops. Argentina lost the war with Britain after Argentine troops invaded the South Atlantic archipelago. In all, the war claimed the lives of 649 Argentines and 255 British soldiers.
