Van een dankbare vijand,

Gezien op het British medal forum.

De medaille set van de Britse Surgeon Captain Rick Jolly.

The senior medical officer of the Royal Marines during the war. In 1998, he was awarded the Argentinian Orden de Majo for his work treating enemy soldiers

I was proud to do my duty, which was to ensure that no wounded soldier, sailor or airman died of his wounds. I ran the field hospital in Ajax Bay which we nicknamed the red and green life machine. It was housed in a sheep-slaughterhouse. We treated nearly 580 British wounded and about 200 Argentinians. Our efforts to treat our erstwhile enemy were recognised by the Argentinian Government in 1998 when they presented me with the Orden de Majo.
