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

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.

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

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.
