Photo From John Silkstone

I have to say thank you to John Silkstone, a former Tidworthian and dare I say, a senior member of the Tidworth Military Hospital Group on Facebook.

The picture submitted by John shows a man who was known and loved by many many members of the Royal Army Medical Corps, The Queen Alexander Royal Army Nursing Corps. The man in question is on the left of the picture. His name-George Logavani, although there are various spellings of the name.

George came to the UK posibly in the 1960's, from Africa, possibly Uganda although I would be happy to be corrected if I am wrong. He was thought to be a senior member of a large family and generally thought to be the son of the leader of his family group which would have given him the status of a Prince within his family tribe.

George trained as a Nurse, to State Enrolled Nurse level. He was a very popular man who would stop at nothing to help anyone and everyone he met.

I would be grateful if anyone could add to these memories of George. He has sadly passed away, but he remains prominent in the thoughts of many of us.
