Reginald Watson-Jones

This is one of two surviving fragments from the 大象传媒's special night of programming, 'In Honour of Russia', which was also broadcast on the Forces Programme. On his return to Britain, orthopaedic consultant Reginald Watson-Jones gives his view of Russia and describes the scene in the battle areas around Moscow. With the city a target and much of the infrastructure destroyed, the hospitals are located in the surrounding forests. He describes the scene en route to one of these hospitals, followed by details of the hospital itself, allowing for some comparison with the British service. One stunning fact about the mass operation is that some 2,000 women donate blood in Moscow every day.
