The Argentinians no longer held the peaks and began to withdraw towards Mount Tumbledown. The 6th Regiment rifle platoon (under 2d Lt. Aldo Eugenio Franco) entrusted with covering this withdrawal was most effective and a number of Argentinian NCOs and conscripts in this platoon were decorated for bravery.

Sergeant-Major George Meachin of ''Yankee'' Company, later praised the fighting abilities and spirit of the Argentinian defenders:{{cquote|We came under lots of effective fire from 0.50 calibre machine guns …At the same time, mortars were coming down all over us, but the main threat was from those machine-gunners who could see us in the open because of the moonlight. There were three machine-guns and we brought down constant and effective salvoes of our own artillery fire on to them directly, 15 rounds at a time. There would be a pause, and they’d come back at us again. So we had to do it a second time, all over their positions. There’d be a pause, then ‘boom, boom, boom,’ they’d come back at us again. Conscripts don’t do this, babies don’t do this, men who are badly led and of low morale don’t do this. They were good steadfast troops. I rate them.<ref>The FN FAL Battle Rifle, Bob Cashner, Page 57, Bloomsbury Publishing 2013</ref>}}
