WOMENS WORK is worth telling !
Christine Poole's work during the Falklands
At the beginning of April 1982 as a Superintending Nursing Officer in Queens Alexandra's Royal Naval Nursing Service, I was quietly running my surgical ward when I was informed that I would be joining a hospital ship in Gibraltar which would become the main Hospital Ship for the Falklands Conflict.
I and 39 other Nursing Officers and Nurses flew out of RAF Lyneham on 15th April to join SS Uganda or as she became known Her Majesty's Hospital Ship Uganda. After storing all the stores we had loaded on, we set about sorting out the various ward areas, Intensive Care Unit, Operating Theatres and the Burns Unit.
I was in charge of the dormitories, which were to house the minor injuries and non life-threatening burns patients.
We were all mighty relieved when on the 28
th June we heard that hostilities had ceased. and we prepared for leaving the Falklands on the 18
th July.we finally arrived back at Southampton on 9
thAugust 1982. I was able to ring home on our last night at sea and was worried that I may not see my parents and relatives on the quayside - "Don't worry" said my mother "your sister has done a banner". She had and I was able to spot it!! We were all taken aback at the crowds on the quayside cheering us in. we had sailed over 22,000 miles on our journey down south in 1982 ...... never to be forgot.
