<ref>According to Dan Snow and Peter Snow, ''"The Argentine corporal in that trench, Osvaldo Olmos, remembers seeing Jones charge past him alone, leaving his followers in the gully below. Olmos said he was astonished at Jones's reckless bravery: his shots, fired from behind, may have been the ones that brought Jones down."'' 20th Century Battlefields, Dan Snow, Peter Snow, p. 282, Random House, 2012</ref>

According to Corporal Osvaldo Olmos{{cquote|Later in BBC interview they put me through in 1996 ... they wanted to know ... how Lieutenant-Colonel Jones had been killed ... They come to Argentina and began to call in those who had manned those positions ... they called me in too ... Then I began to tell them how my battle had been ... how this guy bravely ran to me and how I shot him ... how he fell, and he maintained an aggressive stance ... how  he screamed and finally stopped moving ... and then they [the journalists and veterans involved] took turns asking me what weapon he had, his military insignia, things about him ... Then they reveal to me later at the end of the interview ... they had shown me a sketch, they had shown me photographs ... Do you know why we asked you so many questions about the soldier that fell near you and had been charging alone? ... Where you mark the spot ... that is the place where we found Lieutenant-Colonel Jones dead.
