Location: La Plata, Argentina

The Battle of the River Plate took place off the coast of Uruguay. Standing on the beach at Punta del Este on the Uruguayan coast north of Montevideo on the night of 13 December 1939, curious onlookers watched the battle unfold, in the form of distant thunderclaps and flashes on the horizon.

That image is likely to have been taken at Stanley in the Falkland Islands, which is where the Exeter retreated to after receiving a pounding from the Graf Spee's 11 inch guns. La Plata is a coastal port in Argentina south of Buenos Aires. Interestingly, Argentine authorities offered assistance to the Exeter in the form of facilities and the treatment of wounded at the naval base at Bahia Blanca, but this was respectfully declined by Capt. Bell for fear that the Argentinians might pass information on the amount of damage done to the Exeter to the Germans.

Thank you for the correction Nuuumannn. I should have proof read better sir. Just copied and posted what they had under the photo. My apologies.
