15 cm sFH 13 The 15 cm schwere Feldhaubitze 13 ( 15 cm sFH 13 ) , was a heavy field howitzer used by Germany in World War I and the beginning of World War II . History . The gun was a development of the previous standard howitzer , the 15 cm sFH 02 . Improvements included a longer barrel resulting in better range and a gun shield to protect the crew . Variants were : the original " kurz " ( L / 14 – 14 calibre short barrel version ) , the lg . sFH13 with a longer barrel ; and lg . sFH13 / 02 with minor modifications to simplify wartime manufacture of the lg . sFH weapons . Initially there were serious issues of weak recoil spring mechanisms that would break , and gun barrel explosions . The problems were solved with the upgrades . The British referred to these and their shells as " 5 point 9 " s or " 5 9 " s as the bore was . The ability of these guns to deliver mobile heavy firepower close to the frontline gave the Germans a major firepower advantage on the Western Front early in World War I , as the French and British lacked an equivalent . It was not until late 1915 that the British began to deploy their own 6 inch 26 cwt howitzer . About 3 , 500 of these guns were produced from 1913 to 1918 . They continued to serve in the Reichswehr and then the Wehrmacht in the interwar period as the standard heavy howitzer until the introduction of 15 cm sFH 18 in the 1930s . They were then shifted to reserve and training units , as well as coastal artillery . Guns turned over to Belgium and the Netherlands as reparations after World War I were taken into Wehrmacht service after the conquest of the Low Countries as the 15 cm sFH 409 ( b ) and 406 ( h ) respectively . In the course of World War II about 94 of these howitzers were mounted on Lorraine 37L tractors to create self - propelled guns , designated " 15 cm sFH13 / 1 ( Sf ) auf Geschuetzwagen Lorraine Schlepper ( f ) " .

Operation Braganza Operation Braganza was launched on the night of 29 September 1942 , by General Horrocks . It was intended as a preliminary to Operation Lightfoot , part of the Second Battle of El Alamein . The objective was to capture an area of ground near to Deir el Munassib in Egypt , to be used for extra artillery deployment . This would involve the 131st ( Queen ' s ) Brigade from the 44th ( Home Counties ) Division , supporting armour from the 4th Armoured Brigade , nine field regiments and one medium battery of artillery . The battle . The 1 / 6th Queens Royal regiment — on the northern side of the battle — encountered very little opposition , however in the south its sister battalion — the 1 / 5th — were badly handled when they ran into positions held by the paratroops of the Ramcke Brigade and the Folgore Division , losing 12 officers and 260 men killed , wounded and missing . There were then attempts to relieve the survivors and renew the attack . In the northern part of the battle , these were successful , when the 132nd ( Kent ) Brigade took over , it was found that , despite little fighting , there had been a great many casualties from heatstroke in the 131st Brigade . When , on the following day , the relief operations and attempts to renew the attack in the south broke down , General Horrocks called off the operation . As a result of the losses from the operation , some of the formations were unfit for the battle ( Operation Lightfoot ) and General Montgomery had to change his plans of keeping divisions together . During the remaining period of training , this often led to bewildering interchange of units , which also created considerably extra difficulties for the command structure .

Argentine Military Cemetery The Argentine Military Cemetery , ( Darwin Cemetery ) , is a military cemetery on East Falkland that holds the remains of 237 Argentine combatant s killed during the 1982 Falklands War ( ) . It is located west of the Darwin Settlement close to the location of the Battle of Goose Green . After the conflict the United Kingdom offered to send the bodies back to Argentina , but Argentina refused , knowing that the remains would ensure a continuing Argentine presence on the islands . History . In December 1982 the British Government commissioned a firm of civilian undertaker s to consolidate all of the temporary Argentine graves on the Islands to a single location . Assisted by the armed forces , they identified each Argentine grave site and brought the bodies to Port Darwin . At the time this was the largest single Argentine grave site , with the bodies of the 47 Argentine soldiers , killed at the Battle of Goose Green and buried there soon after the battle . Many of the bodies collected were without dog - tags , so best efforts were made to identify each soldier from personal effects found on the body . Single items were not be considered conclusive , but collections were . All were given a Christian burial with full military honours . Each grave is marked by a white wooden cross with the name of the soldier on it if known , but 123 of the crosses simply state " Soldado Argentino Solo Conocido Por Dios " ( " An Argentine Soldier Known Unto God " ) . Conscious of the sensitivities of the Islanders , wooden crosses were employed , rather than headstone s , as this would have implied permanence . Up until 2004 the cemetery was surrounded by a small white picket fence . The plot is now protected by a walled enclosure with a cenotaph including an image of Argentina ’ s patron saint , the Virgen del Lujan . Surrounding the graves , the names of the 649 Argentine soldiers , sailors and airmen who lost their lives in the conflict , are inscribed on glass plaques , with no indication of military rank or service , as requested by their families . Since the end of the conflict the bodies of three more Argentine Pilots have been interred : On 9 November 2002 Prince Andrew , himself a Falklands War Veteran , made a point to visit the Argentine cemetery and laid a wreath . During the visit the Prince said , " I lost friends and colleagues and I know what it must be like for the great many Argentines who have shared the same experience . " Since the UK - Argentine joint statement on 14 July 1999 Argentine families are responsible for the cemetery ' s upkeep and in 2007 , Sebastián Socodo , an Argentine married to a Falkland Islander , was employed to do the job of cemetery maintenance . There is a replica of the Cemetery at Berazategui . State of interments . In total 649 Argentines were killed during the 74 days of the conflict . 237 are buried at the Darwin Cemetery .
