Long overdue, and well deserved recognition of a great man, and the indomitable spirit of his "Guinea Pigs". The sculptor is Martin Jennings, whose father, Michael, was treated by McIndoe for his injuries (although I don't believe his name appears on the official list of "Guinea Pigs"). For further reading, I can also recommend "The Reconstruction Of Warriors" by E.R.Mayhew.

If anyone is interested, we will be putting on a "Ward III" display at the Bluebell Railway's "Southern At War" event on the 11th and 12th May. Hopefully, we'll be displaying at East Grinstead station, but if space is tight there, we'll be at one of the other stations on the line. I expect we'll be easy enough to track down if you'd like to say hello.
