Since lockdown began in March, the British Army has played a crucial role in delivering PPE to the NHS and running mobile testing. It also helped with the construction of the Nightingale hospitals across the country.

Created by Karmarama, its new animated ad highlights the role it has played in recent months and its long relationship with nursing by linking the coronavirus efforts back to Florence Nightingale in the Crimean War.

Opening in the Crimean War, the film visits Florence Nightingale as she tends to sick soldiers harmed in war. To say thank you to all the nurses that have cared for soldiers throughout the years, the Army is honouring the Lady with the Lamp by striving to support the NHS as best it can.

The film shows how the Army helped plan and build seven Nightingale hospitals at the start of the crisis, with six of them opening before thankfully being placed on standby.
