This painting by Charles David Cobb shows the confused nature of the first battle at Goose Green. The British were on the attack but were significantly outnumbered. It was largely a night attack and the Argentines put up a fierce defence at first before succumbing to confusion and were unaware of their own numerical and weapon advantages over the British. This action nicely encapsulates how a highly motivated and well trained force might overcome a numerically larger and better prepared force. Morale is a key component on the battlefield. |
