During the patrol actions near the Murrell River, Llambias Pravaz fought two fierce actions against the Recce Platoon under Lieutenant Chris Fox of the 45th Commando Battalion, which had about fifty well-armed and artillery-backed troops. In the fighting of 3 June, which lasted until noon, the forward section of the 3rd Rifle Platoon of Second Lieutenant Lautaro Jiménez Corbalán on Mount Harriet forced back an entire platoon of Royal Marines under Lieutenant Chris Marwood from the 42nd Commando Battalion on Mount Wall, with the help of reinforcements from Llambias Pravaz's platoon.

==Two Sisters Mountain==
During the Battle for Two Sisters Mountain, Llambías Pravaz manned a 7.62mm MAG machine gun and an Instalaza-M65 rocket launcher, wounding three British commandos<ref>"We got two- thirds of the way up before anybody started firing at us, but then you kept us pinned down with a machine gun. It took us three-and-a-half hours to cover that last 100 yards, you know. We were hiding among those rocks getting absolutely hammered. Our gun section was up ahead and we were pinned down. A shell went off next to me, and hit three of the guys but they were just wounded. We were so lucky that we didn’t lose anyone.’ [http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2116389/After-bloody-battle-Royal-Marine-enemy-camera-Thirty-years-later-Nick-Taylor-tracked-Argentine-soldier-pictures.html After a bloody battle a Royal Marine found an enemy camera.

Salió el primer cohete y se acabaron los gritos."

In the action his helmet was dented by a rock when a MILAN missile exploded very close to Llambías Pravaz.
