Relatives of Argentine soldiers who died in Malvinas returned to the mainland after visiting the graves of their loved ones on the islands for the first time.

They are relatives of six border patrol servicemen who died in the 1982 war and were buried in the Darwin cemetery.

Their relatives spent a week in the Malvinas, where they also visited Mount Kent.

In that place, on May 30, 1982, a helicopter in which the fallen were traveling during the war was shot down.

The servicemen names were Ricardo Julio Sánchez; Guillermo Nasif; Ramón Acosta; Marciano Verón, Víctor Guerrero; Carlos Misael Pereyra and Juan Carlos Treppo.

They were all members of the so-called "Scorpion Squadron" of the Gendarmerie or Argentine Border Patrol Corps.

Their graves in Darwin were identified thanks to the humanitarian mission led by the Red Cross, thanks to an agreement between Argentina and the United Kingdom.

Before that 2016 agreement, many graves in the cemetery were only marked with the legend: "Argentine Soldier known only to God".

The group of relatives returned from Malvinas to Río Gallegos, and from there they flew to Buenos Aires in a military plane.

Their trip to the Islands was organized by the Foreign Ministry, the Ministry of Justice and the Border Patrol.
