The Guinea Pigs Club is a name adopted by a very special group of British and other Allied airmen in WWII who suffered horrific burns, and spent years in a special hospital undergoing dozens (some more than 100) operations and plastic surgery. At the same time they were receiving the psychological help and moral support needed to live with their life-long disfigurements by an equally special group of Plastic Surgeons and Nurses. These men have held annual reunions since 1945 and some are still active in helping other burn victims today. These men paid a very high price in defence of freedom and liberty...God bless them all!
