IN MEMORY OF THOSE IN THE FALKLANDS CONFLICT

Overheard in the Situations Vacant dept of the MoD one day during Op Banner "Who shall we send as MO for those c*nts in Omagh?"

A good man, better than the tosser of an MO we had for a period over in merry Omagh, a garrison of over 1000 men (mainly male) and the MO was a bloody gynecologist!.

Rick Jolly has gone down into the history books as a fine, dedicated and skilled Surgeon to whom many owe their survival. He is also a good spokesman for servicemen & women. As for the tossers who criticised his methods...who ever heard of them again?

He's far to much a gentleman to even worry about them who knocked him. "I was there to save the lives of young fit healthy servicemen not worry about what people thought or said about me". That sums it up!

I heard that any wounded personnel who made it as far as Rick Jolly's shed survived.

There was one guy from the medical world who, if he couldn't get the kit, improvised and saved a lot of burns victims and major wounds injured. He was slated by the powers to be (civilians) as this was not the way we did things (on civvy street)" but I wasn't on civvy street" said he," I was in the middle of battle, operating in a sheep shed with the enemy trying to stop operation with bombs and bullets not red-tape and staffing problems". His innovative ways are now used regularly by the NHS and all he received in way of thanks was to be shunned and his ideas passed over to professors in nice clinical theatres. The surgeons name? Rick Jolly.

Yes, that was a bad day, and one I won't ever forget.

As a Combat Med Tech on the ground that terrible day perhaps we should also remember those such as myself from the 3 service arms who saved the butchers bill being a lot larger. It's a sight and memory I will take to the grave with me.

Today is the unfortunate day that The LSL Sir Galahad was hit by 3x1000lb bombs.I wish to honour those who were killed on that ship and the following who were friends and colleagues from 16 Fd Amb:-

Major R Nutbeem
Lcpl I Farrell
Pte K Preston


May they all rest in peace and be remembered for their ultimate sacrifice as those in other conflicts,past and present.

Yes, that was a bad day, and one I won't ever forget.
