Our Guinea Pig Club 80th Anniversary Dedication Page provides an opportunity to thank and commemorate those that served and sacrificed during the Second World War.
My father served in the RAF the war and after a crash was sent to Marchwood Park to convalesce. He was fit enough to help out with members of the Guinea Pig Club who were also recovering there and in later years he often talked about their bravery and the pioneering work of Dr McIndoe. This experience influenced his desire to work in the NHS, followed by a long career in public service. He kept in touch with the men he met and was honoured to be considered an honorary member of the Club.
