Jorge Rey, 50 years old, court officer, conscript soldier. "Our generation was not prepared. They gave me a mortar, a weapon that I have never seen before. I shot in a mechanical way, without understanding the consequences. When it broke down I stopped and I felt really bad. On the other hand, I was able to save injured partners and that made me feel good. I was 19 years old, I lost 8 kilos. When the british arrived, we finally got the chance to eat and to wash ourselves up."
