Eduardo Antonio Vallejos and Carlos Alberto Frías There will no longer be two unnamed graves in the Falkland Islands. In Darwin Cemetery, the Secretariat for Human Rights and Cultural Pluralism of the Nation confirmed that both have been identified.
They were on the list of 122 Argentine soldiers who fell in the Falklands War and who had not been gathered since the end of the battle. The discovery of Vallejos and Frías reduced the number: there are only 10 identities left to reveal.
Vallejos He was born on November 20, 1963. He was from Cordoba. Her family, born in Alta Córdoba, lived all her life in front of a place where Eduardo, a child, played with his brothers. It was the third. The same, after his death, was baptized with his name.
He left for the Falklands on April 24, 1982. His father, Isidro, once said that his son had died during an unhappy night. "I should not be here"he said. He shared a trench with Roberto Pintos, where both had to protect themselves until dawn.
The bursts of a bomb that exploded two meters injured him to death. Pintos had already had a quick, instant reaction. It saved his life. Vallejos, on the other hand, was victim of one thousandth of a second who left him forever on the island.
Vallejos' family reported sending four letters during the war. The first on April 29 and the last on June 4, one week before dying. "Pay attention to mom and dad," he said to his brothers.
Carlos Alberto Frías It was Corrientes. On April 14, 1982, he landed on the islands with the troops of the 12th Infantry Regiment of Mercedes, city from which he originated. Frías was taken by train to Paraná, Entre Ríos, where he landed in Caleta Olivia, Santa Cruz, with the group of soldiers – and in aligned planes.
Before April 14, they received a first order: to walk on the border with Chile. Soon this provision was ineffective and they had to move to the Falklands.
Frias was one of 47 Argentine soldiers killed in battle at the Battle of Pradera del Goos, the first military confrontation between British and Argentineans in Darwin between 27 and 29 May.
The Argentine flag will be redeployed on the islands during the day of Wednesday, when Nearly 39 of them will visit the graves of the 20 new soldiers identified during the last year.
For the first time in 37 years, the 39 people who will go to Darwin can accompany the exact place where rest the remains of their loved ones.
The 39 members of their family arrived from different provinces of Argentina in a hotel in the capital. Around two in the morning they will be picked up by buses and transferred to Ezeiza airport. Shortly after 4:30 am, it is estimated that Aerolíneas Argentinas' private flight will depart for Mount Pleasant Military Airport, where it will arrive after a three-and-a-half hour commute.
The trip will also make 13 relatives who, at the time, gave their samples of DNA to the forensic experts of the Humanitarian Project Plan unsuccessfully: up to now, they could not find a positive response with a positive result among the remains.
With the identification of these soldiers, there are only 10 fighters left to identify.
