Newspaper Article
4500 ARGENTINE POWS GO HOME
1982
Overview
Argentine correspondents reported the arrival of the draftees at Puerto Madryn, 650 miles south of Buenos Aires, and the junta referred to the soldiers only as \"contingents\" to avoid the humiliating term POWs for men who spent 10 weeks in tents and trenches battling the South Atlantic winter. The junta barred foreign correspondents from Puerto Madryn and declined to name the vessels bringing the prisoners from the Falklands, which Argentina seized from Britain April 2 and Britain took back Monday. The British said the ships were the liner Canberra, carrying about 4500 men, and the ferry Norland, with 1200. Britain has said it will hold on to 1000 officers until it receives a formal assurance from Argentina that hostilities in the zone are ended. The Guardian newspaper reported that Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's War Cabinet decided to maintain the sea and air blockade of the Falklands until Argentina declares the hostilities are over.
