Today we remember the 40th anniversary of the Falklands War in which 255 personnel lost their lives

Were it not for the selfless dedication of the AMS many more would have lost their lives

We remember all those in conflicts past who gave their lives in service

The conflict that left 650 Argentine and 253 British dead. Their memories are commemorated by the readings by present day CMTs that add powerfully to the exhibition.
‘Falklands 40: The Army Medical Services in Conflict’ opens today and closes 31 August 2022. Admission Free

While the media is daily filled with news of the current conflict in Ukraine, a new exhibition at the Museum of Military Medicine looks back 40 years at another conflict that similarly dominated the airwaves, following the sudden invasion of the Falkland Islands by Argentina.

[MuseumOfMilitaryMeds @MusMilMed]

The new exhibition, ‘Falklands 40: The Army Medical Services in Conflict,’ recounts the course of the liberation of the Falkland Islands from a medical perspective, and highlights the many challenges medics faced in difficult circumstances

[Liz Coward 🇬🇧🇺🇦 @LC43]

Thank you for all your wonderful comments about William Earl. It was moving to read them. I will collate them for the family and pass them on.
In place of this week's blog on the writing of Blood and Bandages, I'll be writing my own tribute to my cherished friend and WW2 hero.

William captivated the audience from the start with his charm, intelligence and wit. He even inspired some of younger members in attendance who were gripped by his story.

William Earl
12th May 1915 - 11th March 2022

[MuseumOfMilitaryMeds @MusMilMed]

We are sad to hear that over the weekend William Earl passed away, he died peacefully on the 11th March aged 106.

In 2017 Liz Coward @LC43 and William came to the museum to give a wonderful talk on William's career in the RAMC.
