Comments: Harold Gillies, a Cambridge-educated New Zealander, pioneered facial reconstruction techniques to deal with the horrendous facial wounds of WWI. In that era, disfigured soldiers were hidden from public view, with social isolation adding to their suffering. After his work on the battlefields, Gillies returned to Britain and established one of the world's first hospitals dedicated to facial reconstruction. Sixteen pages of black and white historical photos of Gillies' work, colleagues, and patients. Please note that some images are quite graphic.
