	<P ALIGN=CENTER><a href="two_sisters.asc"> The Battle for Two Sisters</a></P>
	<P>
	45 Commando's attack on Two Sisters was to be a silent approach attack. It was 
	to take the form of a double punch  with X Company striking from the west and
	Y and Z Companies from the north.</P>
	<P>
	X Company crossed its start line at 2330hrs (2 hours and 30 minutes late) and
  moved east towards Objective Long Toenail. About halfway to their objective 
	they came under fire. This turned into a major action with X Company fighting 
	hard to push towards Long Toenail.</P>
	<P>
	Shortly after midnight, with X Company engaged, Y and Z Companies crossed their
	start line and moved to attack Objective Summer Days. Argentine artillery was 
	used to great effect on all three commando companies.</P>
	<p>
	By 0245hrs X Company had secured Long Toenail. As Y and Z Companies pushed on 
	there was an increasing risk of a blue on blue contact. Y Company was ordered to 
	move south and close up on Z Company. X Company was then ordered to move on and
	seize Summer Days. By 0430hrs Summer Days was secured and 45 Commando had 
	reorganized. Thus ended the battle for Two Sisters.</p>
	<P>
	Outcome: The central feature of the Argentine outer defence is broken and 
	elements of 4th Infantry Regiment are destroyed.</P>
	<p>
	British casualties: Four members of 45 Commando killed.</P>
	<P>
	Argentine casualties: Nineteen members of 4th Infantry	Regiment killed and 
	forty five taken prisoner.</p>
