Jolly nice to see you again WHEN the Argentine naval training ship ARA Libertad visited London her Executive Officer, Cdr Ricardo Jolly, wondered if his namesake and erstwhile opponent was still serving in the Royal Navy! As a result, Surgeon Capt Rick Jolly, who commanded the field hospital at Ajax Bay and was responsible for treating over 100 wounded Argentine
soldiers during the Falklands Conflict, paid a visit to the ship at her berth in Canary Wharf. "I was thrilled to be invited," said the Royal Marines' most senior Medical Officer, "and very impressed with both the ship and her medical facilities. "It's great news that HMS Endurance will be visiting Buenos Aires next year - and I wish I could be there too!"
