Gerardo Bartolomé (text and photos)
On the morning of 30 April 1902 Holdich convinced Moreno to go to school in the valley. When the Argentine and English arrived, the boys sang the anthem of Argentina. Holdich, between intrigued and excited, wondered aloud whether they preferred to be from Argentina or Chile. All responded in unison "Argentina!”, although with a foreign accent.
