castman Posted 21 May , 2013 Author Share Posted 21 May , 2013 Yes indeed, what that site doesn't mention is that Harold Gillies is a New Zealand Western Front surgeon. I don't know if he's for real or ficticious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGM Posted 21 May , 2013 Share Posted 21 May , 2013 Harold GILLIES was certainly real and his work is world famous. He has figured in several threads on the forum. Have a look at the hospital Archives . **They do include some graphic details of the severe facial disfigurements suffered by WW1 casualties.
