Barracks Commanders unveiled
24 October 2011
In the Sacred Defense literature, publication of doctors memories is still missing, said Colonel Ranjkesh, literature deputy of the Sacred Defense Values Preservation Administration in Alborz Province.
IBNA: A ceremony was held yesterday (October 1, 2011) at Mehr Specialized Hospital to unveil a book by Fatemeh Dehghan Niri. The book is entitled Sardaran-e Sole (The Field hospital Commanders) which includes memories of two Sacred Defense physicians, Drs Abolghasem Akhlaghi and Iraj Mahjoub Behrouz.
The ceremony was attended by Dr Hussein Hekmat Ara, executive manager of the Mehr Specialized Hospital, Abolghasem Akhlaghi, one of the books narrators, Colonel Gholamhussein Ranjkesh, literature deputy of the Sacred Defense Values Preservation and Works Publication Administration of Alborz Province, and Fatemeh Dehghan Niri, the books compiler. Speeches were delivered by these guests.
In his opening speech, Hekmat Ara said the ceremony was a good pretext for recollecting Sacred Defense memories, memories about the hospital in Ahvaz and air strikes by the Iraqi air force on the city.
Later, Abolghasem Akhlaghi, one of the books narrators stated that many doctors and nurses attended the war fronts to save comrades lives and the work is an account on their sacrifices in field hospitals of the front.
He later displayed some images from Ahvaz hospitals during the war and related anecdotes about the photos.
Colonel Gholamhussein Ranjkesh was the next speaker in the unveiling ceremony. In his speech he said in the Sacred Defense literature, publication of works on the memories of doctors in the front is still missing.
He posited that doctors work during the war was much better than that in their counterparts in the first world war because in that war over 8 million people were killed by famine and drought while only 20 thousand were martyred in Iran which can be attributed to the proper function of Iranian doctors in the war.
He further invited all the physicians who were by any means involved in the war to record their memories of the events during that era.
The last speaker war the books compiler, Fatemeh Dehghan Niri. In her address, Dehghan Niri asserted that doctors made an indispensible part of the Iranian forces in the war without whom such a victory would never have been obtained.
Palizan has printed and published the book with support from the Sacred Defense Values Preservation and Works Publication Administration of Alborz Province.

The Beating Pulse of a Nation at the Moment of Nowruz
Every year, in the days and nights leading up to Nowruz, Shohada Square had a special charm. A few days before the New Year, the shops would fill with customers, and street vendors would take over the sidewalks. You could find everything in their stalls (from items for the Haft Sin table, candles, goldfish, and spring flowers to clothes, bags, and shoes).The Editor's Missing Place on the “Deck”
The book From Deck to Heaven offers a relatively fresh approach to examining the role of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army Navy (AJA) during the eight years of the Sacred Defense, published under the “Oral History of the Islamic Revolution” series. To compile this book, the esteemed author has utilized documentary research (referring to relevant archival centers and selecting documents) and field research ...An Exceptional Haft‑Seen Table
I wanted to celebrate the new year with my family. Together with two relief workers I boarded buses designated for transporting the wounded to Choubideh and received our mission orders. We waited for a helicopter to take us to Bandar Imam Khomeini. I was stationed near the helicopter’s touchdown zone and was slight in build. As the helicopter was about to land, I could not steady myself; the breeze generated by the rotor blades lifted me off the ground.Spring under the shadow of war
Composing the Spring special for the new year in the past years was mostly along with hope, nature’s rebirth and the promise of renewal of life. Spring has always been a reminder for returning of life and peace after the Winters’ cold. This year though, another atmosphere has settled over our land in the last days of Esfand (March).
