Surgeon-Captain Richard Jolly OBE this morning has sadly passed away.

He is noted for his compassion in the Falklands Campaign in 1982 where he treated both British and Argentine casualties.

During a visit in 1998 he had asked the Argentine foreign ministry what had become of the many casualties he had treated during the war, upon finding out about his work during the war Dr Jolly was appointed as an Oficial (Officer) in the Order of May.

Being a foreign decoration, Jolly had to write to Her Majesty the Queen for permission to wear his Order of May award with his other medals, to which she personally authorized him to wear the award "on all occasions"

RIP and condolences to the family
