Description

The Sir Archibald McIndoe Memorial is a unique historical monument commemorating the pioneering plastic surgeon who revolutionized the treatment of burned airmen during World War II.

The impressive sculpture, created by Martin Jennings, depicts McIndoe standing behind a seated airman with burned hands and face. A stone bench surrounds the entire piece, symbolizing the support the surgeon gave his patients.

Discover the story of a man whose medical techniques are still used today, and whose humane approach to rehabilitation changed the lives of hundreds of soldiers.
