The Glorious Marine Infantry Battalion No. 5, which fought in the Malvinas even after everyone else had already observed the ceasefire.
BIM 5 was respected by the enemy and was allowed to return armed to Puerto Argentino, entering it in a triumphant parade. It did not surrender; rather, a ceasefire was agreed between Commander Jeremy Moore and General Benjamín Menéndez.
At the end, troops from BIM 5 remained at the mooring station to hand over their weapons — the most difficult moment. Their faces say it all.
