What's it got to do with Baldric - was he a medic?

Baldric was serving with the Marines during the Falklands conflict. He is probably reflecting on the "news" whilst some are making light of the men who endured the realities.

There were a lot of people in the Falklands during the conflict (including my boyfriend at the time)

"There were a lot of people in the Falklands during the conflict (including my boyfriend at the time)"

Indeed there were. But your ex is not, as far as I know, a regular AB-er whereas Balders is. I am grateful to him (and all the others, including your ex, who went and did the business) and I just thought Baldric would like to see the news item.

"Others" of course Judge see the post as an opportunity to do "otherwise".

Just wondering if Balders knew my Uni mate who ended up marrying Sir Rex Hunt's daughter, he at Uni with me.....

this man deserved the honours coming his way.

NJ, thanks for the thought,
I hadn't seen it as I was not on AB for long on Sunday.
Emmie has just drawn my attention to it.
He was truly one of the Heroes of the Conflict, It was his drive and commitment that made the 'Red and Green Life Machine' function as well as it did, having said that they were all Great.
