There they were tasked with converting the Uganda from an educational cruise ship into a hospital ship of 500 to 600 beds. During the course of 10 days, they worked flat out and completed the task on the day the ship arrived in Ascension. On April 19th the ship sailed for the uncertainties of the South Atlantic, returning to Southampton August 9th 1982. Helicopter Emarkation of the Wounded The last British Hospital Ship to serve in a #war zone was during the Korean War some sixty years ago. Her Majesty’s Hospital Ship Uganda was the first #British #Hospital Ship in history to embark casualties directly from the battlefields by helicopter, a process that was to save many lives throughout the #conflict. “As I toured the wards of that remarkable ship during my flying visit, I found all of my seriously #wounded #soldiers who had been helicoptered off the battlefi eld, some of whom I thought I would never see again, and saw for myself the inspirational care of the Naval medical and nursing staff that had saved lives and on which recovery was depending. It was hardly a mile offshore, but it felt a very long way from Mount Tumbledown.” Lieutenant General Sir John Kiszely KCB, MC, Company Commander in 2nd Battalion Scots Guards 1982 VISIT OUR LEARNING RESOURCES HERE: https://www.legasee.org.uk/educationa... #FALKLANDS #UKMILITARY #BRITISHARMY #ARMY #ROYALAIRFORCE #ROYALNAVY #SSUGANDA #HOSPITAL #SOUTHATLANTIC #YOUTUBE #UNTOLD #Army #BritishArmy #RoyalNavy #RoyalAirForce #UKMilitary #WW2 #MilitaryHistory #LegaseeWarVeterans
