During the 1982 [[Falklands/Malvinas War]] the battle for the high ground on Mount Harriet and neighbouring Two Sisters Mountain was pivotal to both British attackers and Argentinian defenders as both sought to secure the approaches to Port Stanley. The battle began on the night of May 29th, 1982 but didn’t reach its conclusion until June 12th and, even then, only after several heavy British naval bombardments as well as Royal Air Force Harrier attacks and Royal Marine Commando ''raids''. | During the 1982 [[Falklands/Malvinas War]] the battle for the high ground on Mount Harriet and neighbouring Two Sisters Mountain was pivotal to both British attackers and Argentinian defenders as both sought to secure the approaches to Port Stanley.
