2 Para. A few hours after H was killed. C&D Coy were assaulting Goose
Green School House, heavily defended by Argentines. A white flag
appeared over the school house, the British ceased fire, and Subaltern
Jim Barry, of D Coy approached the school house to accept the
surrender. He was shot dead. The school was reduced by 66mm and Carl
Gustav rounds, and no prisioners were taken.
