| − | While ''Kilo'' Company was fighting on the eastern end of the summit and coming under artillery fire, ''Lima'' Company was making its way up the southern slopes of Mount Harriet under heavy machine gun fire from 2d Lieutenant Pablo Andrés Oliva's platoon of conscripts which opened fire soon after Captain David Wheen's men crossed their start-line, wounding three British marines in the process. British artillery fire and MILAN anti-tank missiles were successful in knocking out these and other enemy machine-gun sangars further up the slope, but it took a number of hours and 14 wounded from Argentinian artillery and automatic fire, before ''Lima'' Company reached the summit, still in the dark. Lieutenant Jerry Burnell's 5 Troop of ''Lima'' Company was then sent forward to the next objective just to the south of Goat Ridge, but was initially forced to retreat until the defenders in 2d Lieutenant Lautaro Jiménez Corbalán 3rd Rifle Platoon crumbled under heavy fire from 15 GPMG machine-gun, mortar and artillery fire. | + | While ''Kilo'' Company was fighting on the eastern end of the summit and coming under artillery fire, ''Lima'' Company was making its way up the southern slopes of Mount Harriet under heavy machine gun fire from 2d Lieutenant Pablo Andrés Oliva's platoon of conscripts which opened fire soon after Captain David Wheen's men crossed their start-line, wounding three British marines in the process.
