Argentine Military Cemetery
Falkland IslandsSituated near to Darwin Settlement, we allow one hour and 30 minutes travel time to the Cemetery on surfaced and unsurfaced road.
The Argentine Cemetery is the resting place of more than 200 Argentine soldiers who died during the 1982 war.
After the British reclaimed the Islands , many of the fallen Argentines were left in temporary graves as Argentine authorities refused to let the British return the remains to Argentina, claiming that they were already laid to rest in their homeland.
The British commissioned the creation of the Cemetery in December 1982 and upon completion gave the fallen Argentine troops a Christian burial with full military honours. Every effort was made to identify the remains of each soldier and mark their graves accordingly. That said, a small number of the graves display the message “Argentine Soldier Known Only By God”.
There is time for contemplation and to pay respect to the fallen soldiers and their families during your visit to the cemetery.
