Blood and Bandages was launched in England in April 2017 in front of family, friends, and representatives from the Museum of Military Medicine, Italy Star Association and the Queen's Royal Surrey regiment.
Tomorrow's talk will be slightly different from the one I gave at the American Club earlier this year. This time, I'll be setting the talk in the context of WW2 in Europe and the Mediterranean so it's easier to place William Earl's unique story as a nursing orderly in the Royal Army Medical Corps, in the global conflict. I'll also be showing extracts of William's interviews. There is nothing more powerful than hearing what it was like from someone who was there. I am always moved by his words.

Hello, can I ask if William ever served in Somerset in the Army Medical Corps? I am trying to trace someone called William Earl who served at that time on behalf of a family friend and it would be interesting to know if it is him, or if he perhaps knows of a namesake who was in Somerset during the Second World War! Many thanks.
