Argentine Religious Leaflet

While the Argentine officers received little bottles of whisky and packets of cigarettes in their ration packs the ordinary soldiers had to make do with religious tracts and pamphlets. This is typical of the little prayer sheets we found amongst discarded Argentine equipment and papers. They were often seen taped to the butts of rifles.
