        There’s a fair few ex Argentine soldiers alive today because of that man that would disagree with that statement... Nobhead.

        Considering the @BBC was helpfully telling Argentine Forces British troop and ship movements and also helpfully explaining that their bombs were incorrectly fused, some of the casualties that Rick Jolly treated can directly be attributed to @BBCNews

        A ridiculous war we should never have fought. Thatcher went into it deliberately in order to win a general election. Blood on her hands.

        An absolute gentleman. I met him several times and he was always polite and friendly, no matter the rank or rate he spoke to. He was funny and kind, a great loss to the naval family.

        RIP hero and credit to humanity. There would have been no war without Argentina's false sovereignty grievance. Seriously, have you heard of a territory being usurped in the 19th century?

        Capt. Jolly was Chief Medical Officer when I was at #BRNCDartmouth, remarkable man, told me I was fine to run a cross-country race with a torn ligament in my shoulder. Turns out he was right, strapped me up and I ran! Still have a copy of his #Jackspeak. RIP
