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.

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.

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.
