Dr, Harrison has also consulted the archives at CONADEP(Argentine National Commission on the Disappeared), and reached out to homeless soldiers, former "soldados conscriptos," veterans of the Falklands War, and living in the "Encampamento" in the Plaza de Mayo, awaiting recognition and veterans benefits from a succession of governments dating back to the 1980's.
