… and so it continues! Did anyone else hear Simon Weston on Radio 4 visiting Headley Court (the British military's primary rehabilitation centre for amputees, where a number of casualties from Iraq and Afghanistan are currently being treated)? If not, you can hear it here. I recommend that you find the time (just a half-hour).

The heartening thing is that so many of the guys have been able to soldier on following their treatment. HM Forces still like to look after their own.

Meanwhile, check-out the PMRAFNS website. Notice Afghanistan (1919) and Iraq (1922). I’ll leave you all to your own thoughts about that!

Check out this link (note that it's an eight-page .pdf). It's all interesting, but Haslar gets a mention at the bottom of page 2. It looks like (except, supposedly, at the sharp end) the whole of what remains of REME Med & Dent is in "civvy" hands now, then?

Here are a couple of interesting links (that I came across by accident, as usual). They have to do with preparations by the US armed forces for the D-Day Invasion of Europe in 1944.
