Falklands War Questions
I am interested in pursuing nursing and medic badges that would be attributed to the Falklands War. However, I have several questions please.
Is there any way to determine if a badge is associated with the war? Were there any QARANC nurses involved or were there only QARNNS? Would medics have been RAMC or part of the regiments involved? Thank you for any help and insight you can share with me. Terry

Thank you all gentlemen!!! I will check out the book, and sent a reply to the PM.
Sounds like there were only QARNNS nurses then. Terry

The first female army personnel to be sent to the Falkland Islands were the Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps sailing on the 19 June 1982 from Southampton, reaching Port Stanley in the Falklands on 11 July 1982 - The Falklands War officially ended on the 14th of June 1982, so they were to late for the war.
They were deployed with 2 Field Hospital Aldershot, and 1000 troops, aboard the Turbine Electric Vessel (TEV) Rangatira. The 14 QAs were led by their Matron Major Margaret Nesbitt where they served at BMH King Edward VII Military Hospital Port Stanley. TEV Rangatira spent the next 14 months as a floating barracks. https://www.qaranc.co.uk/BMH-King-Ed...nd-Islands.php
