Containing approximately 15,000 patient case files, the archive sheds a fascinating light on the development of plastic surgery in the Second World War under famous plastic surgeon Sir Archibald McIndoe. The archive also tells the moving stories of the members of the Guinea Pig Club, badly burned Allied Air Force personnel who were treated and rehabilitated by Archibald McIndoe and his team at the Hospital.
