B Company's attack towards Boca House faltered under artillery and long range machine gun fire. The men either retreated or went to ground in whatever cover they could find. When Lt. Colonel Jones was mortally wounded near Darwin Hill, command of the battalion passed to Major Keeble, the executive officer. Keeble's command philosophy was significantly different than Jones'. He believed that the man on the spot was better able to correct decisions and he turned command of the individual companies over to their commanders while he tried to organize logistic support.
Majors Neame and Crosland, the commanders of B and D Companies met and established a plan for continuing the attack. A firebase would be established with Support Company's machine guns and Milan launchers. B Company would support the fire base and advance towards Boca House Hill. Meanwhile, Neame would take D Company along the beach and try to flank the position.
The Argentines were tired and they had expended a considerable amount of their ammo, but they were still full of fight. The British advance was hit with long range fire once again, but now there was accurate return fire from the Milans. Could the Argentines hold on?
