Mobilization of the Federal Penitentiary Service during the war
[edit]Members of Argentina's Federal Penitentiary Service were mobilized when the war started. They were organized into an infantry company and attached to the XI Infantry Brigade, and nicknamed "black necks" due to their unique prison guard uniforms which the rest of the army didn't have. During the war they guarded strategic locations in and around Rio Gallegos against potential British commando raids. Would it be OK to mention this in the article, provided I find an acceptable source? I think its an interesting detail.

Ridley's reception in parliament
[edit]@user:Anonymous Libertarian This relates to today's edit. The point of the text is that Ridley got a drumming in the house for being involved in any discussions that involved sovereignty, as view stirred up by a well-organised pro-islander lobby group. That is why the proposal never went anywhere. The point of the part about the lease is that even without that vehement anti-Argentine lobby, Ridley's proposal would not have succeeded because more moderate members of parliament would not have accepted a ten year lease back period anyway. The two points are not directly connected which is why I think the second one is, correctly, in parentheses. I don't have the source to-hand though to double check. Others might be able to comment here. However, I think the way it is written isn't clear and should be altered. Roger 8 Roger (talk) 03:40, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
