The mother of a fallen Falklands soldier received a letter from his son 37 years after the war

Sunday, March 31, 2019 will remain forever in the memory of Manuela Roldán.

On that day, Héctor Wilfredo Gaete and Yito Gaete, two of the children of master teacher Miguel Ángel Gaete, who died four years ago, arrived at the woman's home in Las Varillas, Córdoba province, with a letter written 37. a few years ago his son Jorge Ludueña, a fallen soldier to the Malvinas.

As published by El Heraldo, the Gaete brothers live in the city of Santo Tomé and found the envelope in their belongings when they moved.

His father looked for Jorge's parents for a long time, but never found them.

And this year, at the April 2 preview, Manuela was able to read her son again.

"Dear parents, I am writing these lines to tell you that I am well and that you know where I am and that you do not have any problem, because nothing will happen, imploring God. it's very cold here and the food is scarce and I hope it's coming to an end soon so that you're calmer, I tell you that last month they paid us the salary and everyone earned 20 million and they pay all the ends of the month, but send me the sweater and a pair of socks because we are going to leave the license, all weekend if we leave that, "begins the text written by Jorge.

The first master Miguel Ángel Gaete belonged to the Sanidad Commando of the 8th Infantry Regiment and was perhaps the last person to have seen the Varillense soldier living in Malvinas.

Ludueña did not die in combat, but because of physical harm.

The 18-year-old, who had been incorporated into the 8th Infantry Regiment of Comodoro Rivadavia and accompanied by his companions in the South Atlantic Islands, became ill because of the ingestion of food in bad condition.

The cold and stress of the war did the rest. He died on May 20, 1982 and his remains are buried in Darwin's graveyard.

The letter was never sent, but 37 years later she arrived at her destination.
